Marinara egg cups

Tried this recipe above from instagram— loved it. We had to cook ours longer than 15 minutes since our marinara was icebox cold. Plus I don’t like runny yolks. Probably took 25 minutes? Great with crusty bread dipped or taking the sauce and placing it on the bread.? Good with crispy fries as well. 

We had it for a Sunday night supper.Note: I forgot the thyme 😝
