Spicy Baked Eggs

2/3 cup marinara sauce

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

salt and freshly ground black pepper to

taste

1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf

parsley

4 eggs

2 tablespoons finely shredded Parmigiano

-Reggiano cheese

1 tablespoon and 1 teaspoon olive oil

1/4 cup heavy whipping cream

4 slices toast or 2 English muffins

DIRECTIONS:

1.	Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2.	Spoon marinara sauce into the bottom of a square baking dish. Sauce should be about 1/4 inch high. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes, salt, black pepper, and parsley. Make a narrow wells in the center of the sauce for the eggs.
3.	Crack each egg into a ramekin, then pour into the baking dish over the marinara sauce in the wells.
4.	Sprinkle with Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, then drizzle with olive oil, and then drizzle with heavy cream. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
5.	Bake in the preheated oven until yolks are just set, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve with toast or English muffins. You can make as many servings of this as you need. Just use a larger dish and adjust ingredients accordingly. I use a 13×9 dish for 6 eggs or 1 1/2 time this recipe.
