Mexican-Style Baked Eggs

Mexican-style baked eggs are quick, colourful, and full of flavour. Eggs are gently baked in a rich tomato base with peppers, onion, and warming spices until just set and ready to scoop.

It is a brilliant breakfast-for-dinner dish and works beautifully with warm tortillas, crusty bread, or avocado on the side. Simple ingredients, bold result.
