In a skillet, toast the black pepper and garlic over dry medium heat until they become fragrant. Pour in the extra virgin olive oil and let it infuse with the toasted aromatics for about 1 minute.
Using the back of a spoon, create four distinct craters in the tomato sauce for the eggs, then lower the heat. Carefully crack one egg into each crater.
A useful tip: try to get the egg white to touch the bottom of the pan directly, rather than just sitting on top of the sauce. This helps the whites set more evenly.
