Best Baked Eggs In Chunky Tomato Sauce Recipes

EASY SHAKSHUKA RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a large cast iron skillet. Add the onions, green peppers, garlic, spices, pinch salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened, about 5 minutes.
• Add the tomatoes and tomato sauce. Cover and let simmer for about 15 minutes. Uncover and cook a bit longer to allow the mixture to reduce and thicken. Taste and adjust the seasoning to your liking.
• Using a wooden spoon, make 6 indentations, or "wells," in the tomato mixture (make sure the indentations are spaced out). Gently crack an egg into each indention.
• Reduce the heat, cover the skillet, and cook on low until the egg whites are set.
• Uncover and add the fresh parsley and mint. You can add more black pepper or crushed red pepper, if you like. Serve with warm pita, challah, or crusty bread of your choice.

BAKED EGGS IN CHUNKY TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium. Add bell peppers and onion and cook, stirring, until softened, 8 to 10 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes and cook 3 minutes. Stir in spinach and pinch of red-pepper flakes, if using. Season with salt and pepper.
• Transfer sauce to four 14-ounce gratin dishes or a 2-quart shallow baking dish. With the back of a large spoon, make 4 wells in sauce and crack 2 eggs into each. Bake until whites are set but yolks are still runny, about 25 minutes, rotating dishes halfway through. To serve, top with goat cheese and cilantro.

TOMATO AND EGG WITH RICE

Steps:

• Heat 2 teaspoons of the neutral oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until starting to shimmer. Add the ginger and scallion whites and cook, stirring, until the scallion is slightly golden brown, about 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes and cook in an even layer for 1 minute. Lower the heat to medium. Add the Shaoxing wine, sugar, white pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir to combine and simmer for 5 minutes. Using the back of a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, mash the big pieces of tomatoes until broken down. Continue to simmer until the mixture resembles a chunky tomato sauce, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Mix the cornstarch with 2 teaspoons cold water in a small bowl until well combined. Drizzle into the tomato mixture and stir to fully incorporate. Simmer until the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes, then transfer to a medium heatproof bowl. Set aside.
• Wipe the skillet clean and add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil over medium-low heat. Add the eggs and sprinkle in 1/2 teaspoon salt. When the eggs are just starting to set to set, continue to cook, stirring with a rubber spatula to make big curds and folds, until the eggs are almost soft scrambled, 1 to 2 minutes. Gently pour the tomato mixture back into the skillet. Carefully fold into the eggs to combine. Remove from the heat and drizzle with the sesame oil. Divide among 4 shallow bowls along with the rice. Garnish with the scallion greens. Enjoy while warm.

TOMATO BAKED EGGS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to fan 180C/ conventional 200C/gas 6. Cut the tomatoes into quarters or thick wedges, depending on their size, then spread them over a fairly shallow 1.5 litre ovenproof dish. Peel the garlic, slice thinly and sprinkle over the tomatoes. Drizzle with the olive oil, season well with salt and pepper and stir everything together until the tomatoes are glistening.
• Slide the dish into the oven and bake for 40 minutes until the tomatoes have softened and are tinged with brown.
• Make four gaps among the tomatoes, break an egg into each gap and cover the dish with a sheet of foil. Return it to the oven for 5-10 minutes until the eggs are set to your liking. Scatter over the herbs and serve piping hot with thick slices of toast or warm ciabatta and a green salad on the side.

BAKED EGGS IN WHOLE ROASTED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Slice the top third off tomatoes and use a small spoon to remove core and seeds. Arrange in a baking dish, drizzle with oil, and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with thyme and garlic. Roast until tomatoes are tender and caramelized, about 30 minutes.
• Crack an egg into each tomato and season with salt and pepper. Bake until eggs are just set, 7 to 9 minutes more.

SKILLET EGGS IN TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, just until it starts to brown around edges, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add tomatoes, 2 teaspoons salt, and basil; simmer until tomatoes have broken down into a loose sauce, about 20 minutes.
• Make a well in tomato sauce with the back of a large spoon and crack 1 egg into well. Repeat with remaining 5 eggs. Season with salt and pepper and cook until whites are set and yolks are cooked as desired, about 25 to 30 minutes. Top with cheese and serve with sauce immediately from the skillet.
