Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 small white onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 (16-ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
  • 1 tsp ground paprika
  • ½ to 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 6 eggs

Method
 

  1. Chopped fresh basil or parsley, for garnish
  2. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  3. In a small saucepan over medium heat, heat the olive oil.
  4. Sauté the onion and garlic until the onion is slightly translucent, about 5 minutes.
  5. Add the tomatoes, paprika, and red pepper flakes, and give it a stir.
  6. Season with salt and pepper, and bring to a low boil.
  7. Reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 10 minutes.
  8. Transfer the sauce to an ovenproof skillet, and create six small wells in the sauce.
  9. Crack 1 egg into each well, put the skillet into the oven, and bake for 7 to 10 minutes, or until the eggs are set.
  10. Serve garnished with basil. VARIATION 1 SAUSAGE-BAKED EGGS: For a meatier breakfast, sauté about 1 pound spicy sausage with the garlic and onions before adding the rest of the ingredients and continuing with the recipe as written (see photo below). VARIATION 2 BAKED EGGS WITH GREENS: Prepare the baked eggs in individual ramekins, and serve on a plate with a big salad for lunch. PREP TIP: This recipe includes directions for making your own tomato sauce, but if you are short on time, a canned marinara sauce will do just fine (as long as it’s free of sugar and non-Paleo preservatives; Trader Joe’s has a great one in a big green can).
