Baked Eggs Du Jour

I think I have a new favorite go-to recipe. For awhile it was breakfast sandwiches (that had to have avocado), at another time it was fajitas, now, I think it is Baked Eggs. There is so much that is beautiful about this simple recipe. 1. It only takes around 15 minutes. 2. You can use whatever vegetables are in the fridge (or in warmer seasons- garden).

I found the recipe first in Food and Wine magazine (link here) and I even had some amazing Hen of the Wood mushrooms but I made risotto (which was amazing) but I didn't make it. I kept thinking about it, though. Then, to top everything off, someone mentioned the recipe to me and how delicious it was. I didn't have mushrooms so I googled Baked Eggs and found many recipes. One that looked especially good included bacon, green onions, tomatoes, and cheddar cheese (recipe here). Basically, what I learned was that you can basically use anything you have.

My recipe:

1 handful sliced leeks
1/4 green bell pepper, chopped
Splash of Soy Sauce
1 clove garlic, minced
Small Handful Spinach, chopped
Few Basil Leaves, chopped
Small crumble of Cheddar Cheese
1 Egg
Sriracha

Heat oven to 350.
Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in saute pan. Add leeks and bell pepper. Cook for a couple of minutes. Stir in a splash of soy sauce. Add garlic and cook for a minute, season. Remove from the heat and stir in cheese, spinach and basil.
Pour veggies into a ramekin. Make a small well in the middle and crack and egg into it.
Bake for 5 minutes. Then Broil for 5 minutes.
Add some sriracha for spice. 

Serve with toasted baguette.
