Interesting…meatless Monday. That recipe would never work in this house though.
Since I’m still in college away from home, I don’t do much cooking. However, this recipe looks really good. Thanks for sharing it.
I’ve never heard of baked eggs before but that sure looks yummy!
Ok noy sure about eggs in tomato sauce, however i love the ingenuity of it! Also love the meatless monday theme. I try and fail to be vegetarian so this will give me ideas! Thank you!
This looks really good and I would have never thought to use eggs like this!
THat looks so good. Great idea.
That looks really good. I think I’d get sassy and involve some shredded cheese, too.
I’ve had eggs a lot of ways but never this. Sounds and looks good. I may just have to give up my egg substitute for a day to try this out. Thanks!
I tried this recipe today and it’s soooo delicious!! thanks for posting it!
I’m so glad you liked the baked eggs! They are a favorite of ours. Thanks for commenting – you made my day!
Thanks actually sounds pretty good to me and with the title, I was afraid it wouldn’t
I’m not big on eggs or tomato sauce other than my grandmas but think my family would like something like this. Thanks for sharing your recipe
My husband would like this- minus the onions.
I have a thing about eggs. I’ll only eat them if they’re scrambled or I’ll just eat the whites. So this won’t work for me
I do know that scrambled eggs and tomato sauce is delicious though. I guess I could try it that way and cook a shorter time.
Great idea to have at least one meatless day – thank you for the inspiration to eat healthier.
just wanted to chime in that you can do this on the stove top too, in a large skillet (which makes it a really quick meal) by sautéing your onion etc adding the tomatoes and then (once the tomatoes are nice and hot) break your eggs open on top of them…if you want the egg whites cooked all the way then i put the lid on for a a minute or two…the steem cooks them. This recipe is really the best in the summer though, when you can use fresh tomatoes instead of a can! my whole family loves it …we like it with fresh bread for sopping up the yummy yolk and tomato juice at the end.
Jessica – Great suggestion! I’ve always just put them in the oven, but your way sounds quicker. And I TOTALLY agree that fresh is the way to go! I get really sad when my garden stops producing fresh tomatoes. There just isn’t anything as tasty. Andrea
