Returning to this website after a long hiatus with this gem!

I have iterated this recipe a few times and love to make it for my annual galentines day brunch with some pita (link to my recipe)

Ingredients:

Makes ~4 servings:

  • 2 tablespoons avocado or olive oil
  • 1 white onion, minced
  • 1 small green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 small red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • chili powder/chili flakes (optional, to taste)
  • salt, to taste
  • pepper, to taste
  • 1 28-oz can of diced or crushed tomatoes
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 4-8 eggs (per preferences)
  • cilantro, for garnish
  • feta, for garnish

  • Four 8x8 pans or four 9 inch circular pans or one 9x13 pan

Instructions:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

  • Heat the oil in a small-medium pot and add the onions and bell peppers. Let them cook for a few minutes.

  • Add in the galic as well as all of the spices, and cook for another few minutes.

  • Pour in the entire can of diced/crushed tomatoes (liquid included) along with the marinara sauce. Bring it to a soft boil and then turn the heat down to a simmer.

  • Some subjectivity on how long to keep it at a simmer - you can be good to go in anywhere from 10-30 minutes. I like a thicker consistency and simmer for the full 30 minutes.

  • Transfer to 4 dishes or one 9x13 dish. Using the back of a spoon, make wells in the sauce and crack eggs directly into them. I used 4 dishes and cracked 2 eggs into each dish.

  • Add some salt and pepper on top of the eggs and bake for 8-12 minutes, depending on when your egg whites look somewhat cooked.

  • Garnish with cilantro and feta, if using, and serve with your choice of bread! I like pita or ciabatta. Enjoy!
