Choose a sauté pan that can subsequently accommodate the 4 eggs sliced in half in a single layer. Put in the oil and chopped onion and turn on the heat to medium high. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, then add the celery. Cook, stirring from time to time, until the celery is tender. Add the tomatoes with their juice and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until you sauté the fat separating from the sauce. Add the salt and liberal grindings of pepper. Stir, add the basil and stir again. Shell the hard boiled eggs, slice them in half lengthwise and place them in the pan, yolk facing up. Turn the heat down to medium, cover the pan and cook for 2 minutes. Serve when lukewarm. Serves 4 to 8 portions Special thanks to Marcella's Italian Kitchen, for this great recipe!
