Chef's Tips
-
Watch the eggs carefully - they go from perfect to overcooked quickly.
-
For runnier yolks, bake for less time; for set yolks, bake longer.
-
Add spinach or kale for extra nutrition.
-
This is perfect for brunch or a light dinner.
-
The bread is essential for soaking up all the delicious sauce.
-
Try adding olives, artichokes, or sun-dried tomatoes.

Leftovers can be reheated gently, though eggs won't be as perfect.
