Servings 6

Ingredients

½ Medium red bell pepper
½ Medium yellow bell pepper
2 tbsp Unsalted butter
1 Medium white onion finely chopped
2 Garlic cloves finely chopped
1 can White kidney beans rinsed and drained
4 Medium plum tomatos thinly sliced
1 tsp Chili powder
2 ½ cups Good quality tomato sauce
½ tsp Sea salt
½ tsp Freshly ground pepper
6 large Conestoga Farms Free Run Omega-3 Eggs
1 Crusty bread

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
Cut the three types of bell peppers into strips lengthwise.
In a 12-inch (30 cm) oven-safe skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Sauté́ the onion, garlic, and white kidney beans for approximately five minutes or until softened and starting to caramelize.
Add the bell peppers, tomatoes, and chili powder. Cook for an additional five minutes.
Pour the tomato sauce into the skillet, stir well, and bring to a boil.
Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Spacing them evenly around the skillet, crack the eggs, one at a time, into the skillet. Do not stir.
Top the mixture with Monterey Jack cheese, and place in the preheated oven. Bake for three to four minutes or until the cheese is golden brown.
Scoop the eggs and tomato sauce onto serving plates and serve immediately with crusty bread.
