How to Make Baked Eggs With Bacon And Tomatoes
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook bacon until crispy. Remove bacon and set aside, reserving about 1 tablespoon of bacon grease in the pan.
- Add diced potatoes to the skillet and sauté in the bacon grease until golden brown and slightly crispy (about 8-10 minutes).
- Remove potatoes and set aside with the bacon.
- Add olive oil to the skillet. Add chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add cherry tomatoes, red pepper flakes, smoked paprika, and half of the salt. Cook until tomatoes begin to soften and most of their juices have evaporated (about 5-7 minutes).
- Stir in the cooked potatoes and bacon.
- Grease a 7x11 inch baking dish. Transfer the potato, bacon, and tomato mixture to the prepared baking dish.
- Optional: Stir in jarred roasted red peppers.
- Make 4 indentations in the mixture. Carefully crack an egg into each indentation.
- Season with remaining salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until eggs are cooked to your liking.
- Sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves and serve immediately.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
