How to Make Baked Eggs with Capsicum and Tomatoes
Step 1: Sauté the Vegetables
Preheat your oven to 180°C. Heat coconut oil in an ovenproof frying pan over medium heat. Add sliced onion and capsicum, then cook while stirring for 5 minutes.
Step 2: Add Tomatoes and Bake
Toss in the cherry tomatoes, chopped garlic, and chilli. Pour in 125ml water and stir everything together. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 5-8 minutes until the vegetables soften.
Step 3: Add the Eggs
Take the pan out of the oven and use a spoon to create four small pockets in the vegetable mixture. Crack an egg into each pocket, then return the pan to the oven. Bake for 5 more minutes, or until the eggs are set.
Step 4: Garnish and Serve
Remove the pan from the oven. Sprinkle shredded parsley on top and season with salt and pepper. Add parmesan cheese for extra flavor, if desired.
