Fried Egg with Tomato Sauce and Mozzarella

This is my go-to dish for the summer. I have it at least once a week because it is insanely simple to prepare and just oh-so delicious! This recipe is also really easy to adjust portion size. You make it for one person, and just as easily you can make it for four. There's no tricky kitchen math to adjust the amounts of ingredients for each portion, because everything is really based on your own taste and you can play around with the ingredients as much as you like without ever failing in the final product. I have not listed measurements or amounts in the ingredients list because everything depends on your own taste, but generally its about 3/4 of a cup of tomato sauce per egg, but you may add more depending on how much you would like to have left over for dipping.

Tip: Can't go a meal without meat? Add some sliced prosciutto on top of the dish before serving.
