How to Make Cuban Eggs

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Carefully cut 6 large eggs in half lengthwise.
  3. Gently remove the yolks and place the egg whites in an 8x8x2-inch baking dish.
  4. In a small bowl, mash the yolks with a fork until smooth.
  5. Stir in 1/2 cup (40g) shredded cheddar cheese, 2 tablespoons milk, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of black pepper until well blended.
  6. Fill each egg white half with one heaping tablespoon of the yolk mixture.
  7. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter.
  8. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper. Cook until crisp-tender, about 3-5 minutes.
  9. Stir in 1 cup of your favorite tomato sauce and bring to a simmer.
  10. Pour the tomato sauce evenly over the eggs in the baking dish.
  11. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup (20g) shredded cheddar cheese over the sauce.
  12. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are heated through, the sauce is bubbly, and the cheese is melted and golden brown.
  13. Serve immediately over 1 1/2 cups cooked rice. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
