- Now, use a large spoon to form a well near the skillet's edge and crack the egg into it. Pour a small amount of sauce over the egg white's borders to partially submerge and confine it. Do it in such a way leaving the yolk exposed. Do it with all the remaining eggs.

Quick Tip

Season eggs with a pinch of salt, ground pepper, and chilli flakes and simmer for 5 to 8 minutes, or till the whites are barely set and the yolks are still runny.
