I love hot and spicy foods. I found as the years rolled by a person can build a tolerance for the hot stuff. I came from a family of meat,and potatoes. Married a man with a taste for the spicy...so I learned to like it. Now it is the wonderful flavor I'm looking for :)

How To Make eggs in purgatory

Step 1

Saute' veggies in a little oil or bacon grease, for 6 minutes. When veggies a tender add tomato, salt and pepper.

Step 2

Add the spices to your taste. Can make your sauce to accommodate a Spanish, Italian or Moroccan flavor.Garlic, cumin, Spanish sweet smoked paprika, cilantro, flat leaf parsley. Continue to cook for another 15 minutes.
Step 3

Break eggs into bubbling sauce. Cover and cook on med til eggs are done to your liking. Plate and sprinkle with cheese. Cook for 5 min for medium eggs.

If cooking for breakfast use a frying pan. For dinner use a 9x14" pan and bake uncovered @ 375 12-15 minutes. Make sure your sauce is very hot.

As you can see this is a recipe that is cooked just to your liking. I use this sauce on omelets, over meat. It is good just with crusty bread.
