Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/4 cup olive oil
3 bell peppers, any color, thinly sliced
1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
2 beefsteak tomatoes, cut into wedges
8 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 jalapeño, with seeds, halved lengthwise
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
2 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon paprika
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
1 cup ricotta
6 large eggs
1 cup grated sharp white cheddar (about 4 ounces)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan (about 1 ounce)
Toasted country-style bread (for serving)

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large heavy pot over medium heat. Add bell peppers and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and just beginning to brown, 10-12 minutes.
  • Add tomatoes, garlic, jalapeño, basil, oregano, chili powder, and paprika to pot. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are very soft and liquid is thickened, 20-30 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Discard jalapeño.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Transfer bell pepper mixture to a 13x9" baking dish. Using the back of a spoon, make 6 evenly spaced divots in mixture. Spoon a dollop of ricotta into each divot, then crack 1 egg into each. Top with cheddar and Parmesan; season with salt and pepper. Bake, rotating dish halfway through, until Parmesan is melted and egg whites are almost set but yolks are still runny, 15-18 minutes.
  • Serve baked eggs with toast. (Yolks will continue to cook as dish sits, so serve right away if you prefer your eggs soft.)
  • DO AHEAD: Bell pepper mixture can be cooked 1 day ahead. Let cool; cover and chill.

This Portuguese baked eggs recipe is a total winner! The eggs were fluffy and flavorful, and the sauce was rich and creamy. I served it with some crusty bread and a side salad, and it was the perfect meal.
