Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.

Preparing the sauce: In a medium saucepan heat 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add your onion and garlic. Cook on medium low for 3-4 minutes until soft and fragrant. Carefully add your marinara sauce and gently stir. Let this cook for a few minutes while you prepare your ramekin (or any small oven proof dish) You want your sauce to reduce slightly and thicken. Butter your ramekin or spray it with cooking spray. Set aside. Add your dried pepper flakes (if using), fresh oregano and 1 teaspoon of your basil to your sauce. Gently stir to combine. Let this cook 1-2 minutes more. Salt and pepper to taste.

Option #1: Add the hot tomato sauce to your prepared dish. Carefully break your egg on top of your sauce. Add more salt and pepper if desired. Put a little foil tent over your dish. Put in your preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until egg is set to your liking. Top with Parmesan cheese and additional 1 teaspoon fresh basil. Serve with buttered toasts.

Option #2: If you don't want to mess with ramekins and using your oven you could easily break your egg into your saucepan and cover for a few minutes until egg is set to your liking. Serve the same way.

Note: if you are making more than one and want to use the saucepan option simply use a larger pan and add all of your eggs, trying to keep them from touching each other.
