italian-eggs-1

Quickly becoming one of my most favorite things to make for brunch because its so damn quick and easy! Great to make for that special someone in your life that you want to wake up with brunch in bed.

INGREDIENTS

  • 4tbsp. Spaghetti Sauce
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1/4 Cup Sliced Mushrooms (or your other favorite pizza topping. I've used sausage and olives with good results)
  • 1/4 Cup Shredded Italian Cheese
  • Italian Seasoning
  • Salt
  • Pepper

DIRECTIONS

For this recipe you'll need 2 oven safe ramekins and a deep baking dish. Preheat the oven to 350 and start boiling about a quart of water. I used Nino's Spaghetti sauce. You can pick it up at any of the places listed here. Place 2tbsp. of spaghetti sauce in the bottom of each ramekin.

Brown your mushrooms (or prepare your other favorite pizza topping). I cooked them in lots of butter. Put the mushrooms on top of the spaghetti sauce. I keep a little bit of the butter to put in with the mushrooms.

Crack an egg into each ramekin.

Put the ramekins in the deep baking dish and fill the dish with boiling water about 1/2 the way up the ramekin. Then pop in the oven. Bake at 350 for about 15mns or until you can shake the ramekin and it no longer slides around like an uncooked egg white. Baking time can be really different per oven so keep a close eye on it. 2mns can mean the difference between a nice runny yolk, a hard yolk and a totally uncooked egg.

Once you find the perfect baking time you'll want to make these all the time too!
