Salsa Dipped Baked Eggs

Salsa Dipped Baked Eggs is a savory and satisfying dish where eggs are gently baked in a flavorful salsa base. The combination of the rich, runny yolks and the zesty salsa makes this a simple yet vibrant meal, perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even dinner.

For a Serving Size of Two:

Ingredients:

• 4 large eggs
• 200 grams salsa (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 small onion, finely chopped (50 grams)
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 tsp cumin powder
• 1/2 tsp paprika or chili powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish
• 50 grams shredded cheese (optional)

Procedure:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. Prepare the Base: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until soft, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic, cumin, and paprika, and cook for 1-2 more minutes until fragrant.
3. Add Salsa: Pour the salsa into the skillet and bring it to a simmer. Let it cook for about 5 minutes to thicken slightly. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the salsa mixture into a small oven-safe dish, spreading it evenly.
5. Add Eggs: Create 4 small wells in the salsa and crack an egg into each one. If using, sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top.
6. Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny. If you prefer firmer yolks, bake a little longer.
