Leave it to the Italians to poach eggs in a spicy tomato sauce with slices of Calabrese salami. This dish is generally eaten for lunch or dinner, as breakfast in Italy usually consists of espresso and a cornetto, croissant. Serve with a thick slice of bread to sop up the yolky tomato sauce, and be sure to have a glass of Poggio Grande Syrah.
