Cooking tips

  • Cumin powder is a key spice that gives Egg in Hell its unique Middle Eastern/Latin fusion flavor, but it can be omitted if you're unfamiliar with the taste.
  • Mixing gochujang and gochugaru into the tomato base creates a spicy and refreshing sauce that suits Korean palates, making this Western dish more approachable.
  • Even stale rye bread or white bread that has been sitting in the freezer can be revived by lightly toasting it in an air fryer or pan, then topping with the sauce.

Recommended for

  • Those who want a fancy and pretty appetizer or brunch to enjoy at home with wine or beer.
  • Those who want to deliciously use up leftover vegetables, bacon, and ham from the fridge in one go.
  • Those who love the combination of spicy tomato sauce, gooey cheese, and soft runny egg yolk.
