Ingredients

  • 1/2 of one sweet onion sliced thin
  • 1 Tbsp about balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 lb of breakfast sausage
  • 3-4 medium button mushrooms sliced (not too thin)
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 1 handful cherry tomatoes cut in half
  • 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
  • 8 eggs
  • fresh parsley roughly chopped
  • olive oil
  • salt & pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 °F.
  • Add about 1 Tbsp olive oil in a large, oven-safe, non-stick pan and heat over medium heat.
  • Add the sliced onions, season with salt & pepper, and sweat until the onions turn translucent. Add the balsamic vinegar and toss to coat.
  • Bump the heat down to medium low and slow caramelize the onions, tossing occasionally with a wooden spoon.
  • Once the onions are caramelized, put them in a bowl and set aside with the other prepared ingredients.
  • Add the sausage to the pan and cook over medium heat until beginning to brown.
  • Add the mushrooms, season lightly with salt & pepper, and sauté. If the sausage is lean, you may need to add more olive oil to the pan.
  • Add the bell pepper, caramelized onions and cherry tomatoes, a pinch more each of salt & pepper, and sauté for 1-2 minutes, tossing the ingredients together.
  • Turn the burner off, add the grated cheese evenly over the sausage mixture, and add the eggs one at a time on top of that. It's best to crack all the eggs ahead of time into a bowl to prevent egg shells from sneaking in.
  • Season the eggs with salt & pepper and put the pan into your 350 °F oven until the eggs are done to your liking. The length of time on this depends entirely on your oven, whether it's convection or not etc.. So I prefer to open the door every few minutes and give the pan a shake (wearing an oven mitt, of course). When the white has set up and the yolks move slightly when shaken, that's a perfect, semi-soft egg (my preference).
  • Top with chopped parsley, scoop each egg, as well as the sausage and veggies they sit on, onto a plate and serve.
