Remove the casing from the sausage and place in a frying pan with a tablespoon of oil. Break up the sausage the same way you would ground beef. Brown the sausage but do not fully cook, remove from pan and drain on a paper towel.
Add the diced onion and diced, seeded chiles to the pan. Cook and stir the chile mixture until it softens and begins to brown. Mince 4 of the cloves of garlic and add to the chile mixture. Add a pinch of cumin. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
Add the diced tomatoes. Slightly smash the tomatoes with the back of a wooden spoon to release some of the moisture and bring the mixture to a boil. Immediately reduce the temperature to just under a boil.
Make 4 to 6 indentations in the tomato sauce for the eggs. Crack the eggs one at a time onto a plate and it into an indentation in the tomato sauce. Repeat with all of the eggs. Cover the frying pan with a lid or aluminum foil. Let the eggs steam and "poach" until the white is set and the yolks are very runny. There will be a slight white film over the yolk. About 3 to 4 minutes. Watch them carefully. Do not over cook the eggs. The eggs will continue to cook when removed from the heat and sitting in the warm sauce.
