Heat olive oil in a wide pan and cook onion for 4 to 5 minutes until soft.
Add garlic and chilli flakes and cook for 30 seconds.
Stir in tomatoes and tomato purée, season, and simmer 10 minutes until thickened.
Make four wells and crack in the eggs. Cover and cook 4 to 6 minutes until whites are set.
Finish with parsley and black pepper and serve immediately with toast.

Notes

Use medium heat once eggs go in so whites set gently while yolks stay soft.

Add torn bread or toasted sourdough to make it a full supper plate.
