Italian-Style Baked Eggs Ingredients Directions Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Brush 1 side of each bread slice with some of the oil. Place oil side down in the pan. Brush the tops with oil. Cook for about 2 minutes on each side, or until toasted. Place a slice of toast on each of 4 plates. Set aside. Return the pan to medium heat. Add the remaining oil, the onion, and bell pepper. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes, or until the vegetables have softened. Stir in the tomatoes, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 5 minutes, or until the tomatoes make a chunky sauce. With a large spoon, create 4 indentations in the sauce. Break 2 of the eggs into 2 custard cups. Gently tip each egg into 1 of the indentations in the sauce. Repeat with the remaining 2 eggs. Cover and simmer for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the whites are completely set. Use a large spoon to lift each egg and accompanying sauce onto each plate, either next to or on top of the toast. Spoon any remaining sauce evenly around the egg.
