Baked Eggs
1 1/2 cups Marinara Sauce, recipe above

instructions

Marinara Sauce
  • Heat oil in large saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and onion and sauté until tender.
  • Stir in crushed tomatoes, oregano basil, cheeses, salt and black pepper. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 40 minutes to blend flavors.
  • Marinara can be made ahead up to 3 days in advance.
Baked Eggs
  • Preheat oven to 425o F.
  • Lightly spray a 9 X 11 inch baking dish or 6 (6 inch) ramekins with nonstick spray.
  • Heat Marinara Sauce and place in the bottom of baking dish or ramekins*. Use the bottom of a small custard cup to make 12 indentations in the sauce. Crack on egg into each of these indentations.
  • Sprinkle the combined cheeses over the top of the eggs. Bake until the egg whites are set, the yokes are a bit runny and the cheese has melted, about 18 minutes, watching carefully not to over cook the yolk.>
  • Serve by scooping eggs and sauce into individual bowls, using a large spoon, and garnish with basil. Serve with thick slices of Italian or french bread that has been toasted.
  • Cook's Note: Can use prepared or jarred marinara sauce. If using the ramekins divide the Marinara Sauce between the 6 ramekins and put 2 eggs in each one. Follow directions above dividing ingredients between the 6 ramekins.
