What Do You Do With A Can Of Sardines In Hot Tomato Sauce?

My youngest who still lives at home, on and off, recently left to go to Europe for a writing trip. He also left a bunch of laundry, a dirty room and a can of these:


He and I are both huge seafood lovers, his dad, not so much. I woke up this morning hungry and wondering what I could do with those sardines. We desperately need to go grocery shopping and frankly there is not a lot of food in the house. We have staples but we do not use a lot of convenience foods, I consider these sardines a convenience food because technically you can eat them right out of the can. The majority of food we eat we prepare ourselves and we carry our food with us when eating away from home. 

I am going grocery shopping today, and since I need to eat before I go, I'm putting this meal in the category of "what to eat when the pantry is practically empty" or "how to eat what's on hand". I'm sort of finicky about my food, I won't eat just anything. I want it to taste great or better than great, look very appealing, and be healthy. I think this dish fits the bill.




Sauté a small, sliced, yellow onion in a little Avocado oil.


Add the sardines and sauce and gently boil to reduce the sauce, turn the sardines gently to heat them through.


Once the sauce is reduced, top with eggs and place under the broiler on high for a minute or two until the eggs are set.


Enjoy!

Hubby said they were interesting, which isn't a glowing endorsement, but he did finish his breakfast.
I loved them, next time I will add a little citrus juice (lemon or lime) and hot sauce, the "Hot Tomato Sauce" was not very hot.
