Flaming Eggs - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 small onion
1/2 small red pepper
chopped red chilies or green chili, to taste
8 ounces crushed tomatoes
1 tablespoon tomato paste
3 eggs
paprika or cayenne pepper, to taste
Preparation
-
Preheat the oven to 320F degrees.
Heat the oil in a medium pan, add the onion and cook over medium heat until soft and lightly golden.
Add the pepper and chilies and cook for a further 2-3 minutes.
Add the tomato paste and cook, uncovered, over a low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Transfer the tomato mixture into a shallow, ovenproof dish.
Using the bowl of a soup spoon, press three hollows into the mixture to hold the eggs (one per number of servings).
One-by-one break each egg into the hollows.
Bake for 20-30 minutes or until the whites are set and the yolks are still soft.
Sprinkle with paprika or cayenne and serve immediately.
