Baked Egg over Marinara

In Italy eggs are eaten often for dinner.  The main meal of the day is lunch and so dinner is usually a lighter meal.  When  staying in Italy with family, I remember on several occasions the combination of eggs, sauce and cheese.  Because the egg is baked in the sauce it takes on the texture of a poached egg.  The pic isnt amazing, but the result was great.  yum.  Eggs are a great source of protein, combined with tomatoes, which are a great source of vitamin E and lycopenes, then add the calcium in cheese, you have a great nutritious, easy to assemble meal.

I made a single serving for myself, but it would be just as easy to make a double or triple serving by changing the recipe accordingly.
