Baked Eggs

Baked Eggs are the new hit in my household. Every time I ask Mark what he fancies for dinner he says Baked Eggs. I can’t figure out if that’s the only thing he can think of or if he really loves them that much!

We usually eat these for dinner but they would work wonderfully for breakfast or brunch.

Tomatoes, black beans and spices form the wonderful sauce that the eggs are baked in. It’s then sprinkled with fresh coriander to add an element of freshness.

These baked eggs are a hearty and earthy dish that is perfect if you’re looking for a substantial meal. I often make this after Mark’s been training and in need of a big meal to help give his body some much needed energy and fuel. It’s loaded with protein so it’s great after a big workout!
