Calling all vegetarians! This easy recipe for Summer Roasted Vegetable Baked Eggs is reminiscent of intensely satisfying Israeli shakshuka. This simple version is less saucy and is cooked entirely in the oven. It contains a bevy of summer vegetables – bell peppers, zucchini, tomatoes, red onion, and hot pepper – and is flavored with garlic and fresh thyme. First, you roast the vegetables in the oven until golden and tender. Then you gently crack each egg into the dish, nestling them into the veggies. Finally, the dish is moved into the oven to finish. That might be a classic Israeli breakfast, but it hits the spot any time of day, especially if you like breakfast for dinner.
Before adding the eggs, taste a piece of pepper or zucchini to check if the veggies are cooked and well seasoned. You could vary the number of eggs depending on the size of your crowd, as well your baking dish. At 310 calories per serving, it’s a satisfying yet low-calorie meal.
To make this Summer Roasted Vegetable Baked Eggs, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 400 °F.
To a large baking dish, add 2 sliced bell peppers, 1 chopped zucchini, 3 chopped tomatoes, 1 sliced red onion, 1 sliced hot pepper, 2 sliced garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, ½ teaspoon sea salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper and mix to combine.
Roast for about 20 minutes, stirring once halfway through cooking time.
Once the vegetables start to brown and are cooked to your liking, taste and adjust for salt and black pepper if needed. Make 4 indents in the layer of vegetables with the back of a spoon. Crack an egg into each indent, sprinkle with a pinch of salt, and then put the dish back into the oven.
Cook for another 6 to 10 minutes, depending on the size of the eggs, or until the whites are just set but the yolks are still runny.
Serve right away with crusty bread.
