These Italian baked eggs are so easy and quick! Such a comforting and beautiful breakfast dish that everyone will love.

📝 Ingredients

• Olive oil
• 1/2 cup yellow onion, small diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 jar (24oz) marinara sauce, or more if desired ((store-bought or homemade))
• 4 large eggs
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup ricotta
• 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, shredded
• 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
• Basil leaves or parsley, chopped
• Baguette or Italian bread to serve, sliced and toasted

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2. 2Heat some olive oil over a large oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook for about 3-4 minutes until softened, stirring occasionally. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, stirring, about 1-2 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper if needed.
3. 3Add the marinara and warm it up a little bit. Make 4 wells, and break an egg into each well. Tip: crack eggs into a bowl, one at a time, and then add them to the skillet to prevent accidental egg shells.
4. 4Add a few dollops of ricotta, gently pushing it down into the sauce. Top with shredded parmesan and mozzarella cheeses.
5. 5Bake in the oven for about 12-15 minutes or until eggs are set to taste. Serve with basil or parsley as garnish, and toasted bread.
