This Italian recipe of eggs poached in a blend of Italian red sauce (spaghetti sauce) with mushrooms and spinach in one skillet makes a quick and easy late night dinner for two. Served with a side fruit and these Italian skillet eggs make a lite and healthy choice.
We have always enjoyed breakfast for dinner and this recipe is very different from a breakfast we would normally prepare. These Italian Skillet Eggs are a romantic dinner for two and are ready in a jiffy and if served with fruit, it qualifies for low carb/calorie dinner.
Topped with Mozzarella cheese and ribbons of fresh basil and these Italian Skillet Eggs are ready to eat.
One quick dinner made in one skillet for two, what more can we say. Enjoy!

May 9, 2013 at 11:04 amIt looks fantastic!!
I'm not familiar with "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" but it sounds interesting.
Is it butter-flavored margarine ?

May 9, 2013 at 3:06 pmI'll replace the margarine with olive oil, and give this a try!
Looks delicious … but is it very liquid-y?
I guess using hunks of crusty good Italian bread to soak up the sauce would not be very diet friendly, hahaha!
Thanks for sharing!
