Mexican Baked Eggs in Chilli Tomato Sauce
Make on Fresco
This recipe is a firm favourite in our house, but we just don't get around to making it often enough. A real weekend treat, mainly because of the time it takes to prepare. You can speed it up by pre-making the sauce ahead of time and simply doing the egg baking the day you eat! Bon Appetit.
