I have to be honest, breakfast really isn’t my thing and eggs really really aren’t my thing (something about the texture that freaks me out). So you will know I mean business when I say these baked eggs are absolutely delicious and I could happily enjoy them for breakfast every day of the week.

Peppers, onions, tomatoes, spinach and spicy chorizo are sauteed and then added to a thick tomato sauce. Small pockets are created in the sauce and an egg is cracked into each. The entire pan is then baked in the oven until the egg whites are firm and the yolks are still runny. Although traditionally served for breakfast, this is also a great dish to serve for brunch, lunch or even dinner along with bread to sop up all of the sauce. This is a great make ahead meal as the sauce and veggies can be prepared up to 2 days in advance and simply warmed in the pan before topping with eggs and baking.
