Spicy Baked Eggs

Another name for these Spicy Baked Eggs could easily be Hangover Breakfast. They combine all the elements that I want in a breakfast when the night before might have been too much fun: gluten, fat and spice! And if a breakfast pizza, loaded with cheese, eggs, bacon, sausage and chilli is not in easy reach (why do so few places make breakfast pizzas?), this is a great alternative.

And even if the evening before does not need to be medicated with comfort food, this is a much less stressful way of serving breakfast for a crowd. Forget about getting the timing of each one’s fried eggs right or the scrambled eggs drying out.

Also known as the North African dish, Shakshouka, the orignial recipe is vegetarian in nature and does not have any cheese or meat, while in the Middle East and Spain you can find it served with spicy sausage. There is also the famous Mexican version, Huevos Rancheros, but the eggs are usually scrambled and not kept whole.

I think adding the ground beef just makes preparation easier and means you have breakfast pretty much all in one dish. Adjust the chilli to your personal preference. Try to get the best bread you can to mop up all that delicious sauce.
