We really liked this dish with the fruity heat of Turkish Aleppo pepper, but you can substitute crushed red pepper.

I made this for dinner last night, doubled the recipe for 6 of us. I gave the husband and my 17 yr son two servings and I went heavy on the tomatoes for myself. It was similar to a tomato soup and we loved the egg on top. I used crushed red pepper instead of the Aleppo.

We really liked this. We try to eat super light a couple days a week and this made a delicious meal for few calories. I made it exactly according to directions because I had all the ingredients.

Quick and easy meal. I added some ground turkey and after the cheese melted on top sprinkled a few bacon bits on top and it was wonderful will do again..I also did mine in individual small bowls and set the bowl in a pot of bowling water for a few min to cook the eggs then added cheese and in the over for like 2 min.

Fairly quick and easy week day dinner. Very nice in a cold wet day. Sort of an upgraded tomato soup and grilled cheese meal.

I used sherry instead of red wine since that's what I had. I think that made it a bit sweet with the added sugar. We really liked it anyway, and I will make with red wine next time.
