  4. While the eggs simmer, toast 2 slices of your favorite bread.
  5. Carefully transfer one poached egg and a generous spoonful of the sauce onto each slice of toast.
  6. Sprinkle the top of each egg with 1 tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese (or your preferred cheese).
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy your quick and delicious Italian breakfast!
