Let me whisk you away to the sun-soaked hills of Tuscany with this easy yet luxurious Italian Baked Eggs recipe.Â
Ingredients
-
1Â baguette, halved and sliced lengthwise
-
1½ tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
-
4 ounces low-moisture mozzarella, sliced into 8 pieces
-
12 ounces hot Italian turkey sausage, casings removed
-
1½ cups chopped yellow onion
-
3Â garlic cloves, chopped
-
28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
-
1½ teaspoons chopped fresh oregano, plus more for serving
-
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
-
4 large eggs
-
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
-
Make the cheesy toasts.Â
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place baguette slices on a baking sheet, brush them with oil, and top each with 2 slices mozzarella. Bake until the cheese is bubbly and light golden brown, about 12 minutes.
-
Cook the sausage.Â
Meanwhile, heat a large ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add sausage and cook, stirring and breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until almost cooked through, about 5 minutes.
-
Stir in the other sauce ingredients.Â
Add onion and garlic to the sausage and cook, stirring, until the onion is translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes, oregano, and salt, and then bring to a simmer, occasionally stirring, until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes.
-
Add the eggs.Â
Reduce oven temperature to 375°F. Break the eggs into the sauce, leaving space between them, and then sprinkle with pepper.
-
Bake and serve.Â
Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still soft, 7 to 9 minutes. Top with fresh oregano and serve in bowls with mozzarella toast.
