Cuisine: Moroccan
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups canned diced tomatoes
- 1 cup cooked sausage, sliced
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the dish.
- In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, until fragrant.
- Add the sliced cooked sausage to the skillet and cook until heated through, about 3-4 minutes.
- Pour in the canned diced tomatoes, along with their juices. Stir to combine with the sausage and onion mixture.
- Season the tomato and sausage mixture with cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well and let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Once the mixture has thickened slightly, remove the skillet from the heat. Using a spoon, create four small wells in the tomato mixture.
- Crack one egg into each well, being careful not to break the yolks. Season the eggs lightly with salt and pepper.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny, or to your desired doneness.
- Remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
- Serve the Moroccan baked eggs and sausages warm, ideally with crusty bread or pita for dipping.
Tips
- Choose Quality Sausage: For the best flavor, opt for high-quality sausages. Spicy or herbed varieties can add an extra kick to your dish.
- Customize Your Veggies: Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or spinach to the tomato mixture for added nutrition and flavor.
- Watch the Eggs: Keep an eye on your eggs while baking. If you prefer runny yolks, check them around the 15-minute mark.
- Serve with Bread: This dish pairs perfectly with crusty bread or pita for dipping into the delicious tomato sauce and runny yolks.
- Garnish Generously: Fresh cilantro adds a burst of freshness. Don’t skip this step; it elevates the dish beautifully!
- Make it Ahead: You can prepare the tomato and sausage mixture in advance. Just add the eggs and bake when you're ready to serve.
- Experiment with Spices: Feel free to adjust the spices according to your taste. A pinch of chili flakes can add a nice heat if you like it spicy!
