Ingredients
  • 2 red peppers (julienned)
  • 1 yellow pepper (julienned)
  • 2 medium tomatoes (sliced and quartered)
  • 1/4 cup red onion
  • 3 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper
  • 1 teaspoon chopped basil
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 teaspoon tumeric
  • salt/pepper to taste
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 6 ounce sliced jalapeño cheese
  • 4 large eggs
Directions
  1. *optional additions/trade-ins feta cheese goat cheese chorizo white wine ​cumin Cut all veggies to prepare. Preheat the oven to Broil and simmer the garlic in 3 tbsp butter on medium-low heat in a large skillet. (cast iron preferred, but at least oven safe) Add the onions, peppers, tomatoes, and salt/pepper to taste. Cook until tender. Turning and stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Add all of the spices and veggie broth. Allow to cook for another 5 minutes until it is thick like a stew. Turn off the heat, remove the bay leaves and crack the eggs into the mixture. Sprinkle with additional salt, pepper, and/or red pepper before placing in the oven on broil. The eggs whites will take about 2-3 minutes to cook so watch it carefully. When the egg whites are cooked but the yolk is still soft, layer the cheese on top. Then put it back in the oven for about 1 minute for the cheese to melt. Serve with crusty bread or, my new favorite, toasted Cinnamon Bagels!! Odd pairing, I know, but the cinnamon flavor goes perfectly with these spices. Enjoy my loves!
