 Italian-Style Baked Eggs

Serves 2 | Prep/time 30 mins

INGREDIENTS

5-6 Slices of chopped Bacon (or 1/2 LB Italian ground sausage)

1/2 Cup Onion, chopped

3/4 Cup Green Pepper, chopped

1 Cup Mushrooms, diced

3 Cloves Garlic, minced

1-16oz can diced tomatoes

1 Tbsp Dried Italian Herb Blend

1/2 Tsp Red Chili Flakes

6-8 Fresh Basil leaves, chopped + more to garnish

4 eggs

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 420 Degrees. Add bacon (or Italian sausage) to an oven safe skillet on medium heat.  cook until the bacon starts to brown. Drain the  excess fat, but still leave a little bit for the onion to cook in! 

Add your onion and cook until translucent (about 5 mins). Throw in the green pepper and mushrooms and cook until they soften just a bit, we don't want soggy veggies! Add the garlic and cook until fragrant (30 seconds).

Reduce your heat and add in the diced tomatoes, dried Italian herbs, and chill flakes. Simmer for a couple minutes, stir in the chopped fresh basil. Create 4 wells in the sauce and crack the eggs right in. 

Bake in the oven for 10-15 mins, until the egg whites are set, but the yolk soft!  Sprinkle with more fresh basil and enjoy!
