Mexican Baked Eggs


I love love love Mexican food and had been wanting to try out this type of dish for a while.  It was delicious and I would happily eat this for breakfast, lunch or dinner - how versatile!  It's healthy and is a great little vegetable sneak - the kids would also think you're pretty amazing if you served it up with corn chips.  Try it!


Ingredients
olive oil spray
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
Mexican/taco seasoning or spice (bought or home-made using cumin, coriander, paprika, oregano and chilli) to taste (anywhere from 1 teaspoon to 2 tablespoons!)
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tin crushed tomatoes
500g grated, hard vegetables (I used carrot, purple carrot, sweet potato and pumpkin)
1 cup vegetable stock
400g tin kidney beans
4 eggs
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, shredded
coriander, jalapeños and corn, to serve (optional)

Method
Heat a wok or large pan over medium heat.  Spray with oil, then add onion and garlic and cook for about 5 minutes, until soft.

Add seasoning and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.  Add tomato paste and mix, then the tomatoes, vegetables, stock and beans.  Mix well, bring to the boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes, until vegetables are tender and sauce has reduced.

Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Spoon into individual ramekins (or one large baking dish).  Use the back of a spoon to create an indent in the mixture.  Crack an egg into each indent.

Bake for about 10-15 minutes until eggs are cooked to your liking.

Sprinkle with cheese and return to oven for another 2 minutes, until melted.

Serve with extras, if desired.
