Ingredients

  • Egg, 3 egg (129 g)
  • Feta Cheese, 1 1/2 ounces (44 g)
  • Hot Chili Peppers, 1/2 red jalapeno (7 g)
  • Cumin, 1/2 tablespoon (4 g)
  • Oregano, 1 teaspoon (3 g)
  • Fresh Basil, 2 tablespoons (6 g)
  • Table salt, 1/3 teaspoon (2 g)
  • Paprika, 1/2 teaspoon (1 g)
  • Garlic Powder, 1/2 tsp (2 g)
  • Olive Oil, 2 tablespoons (30 g)
  • Tomato, Fresh, 1/2 tomato (61 g)
  • Red Pepper, 1/2 red bell pepper (60 g)
  • Parsley, 1 Tablespoon (4 g)
  • Onion, Fresh, chopped, 1/2 small (35 g)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 F.
  2. Peel the tomato. Chop the onion, the bell pepper,the chili pepper, the feta cheese and the tomato.
  3. In a pan suitable for both stove and oven, warm the olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic,onion, bell pepper, and salt. Cook, stirring often, for about 6 minutes.
  4. Add the tomato, cumin, oregano, paprika and chili pepper. Cook, stirring constantly for 6 more minutes.
  5. Turn off the heat. Taste and add salt and spices if necessary. With a spoon make a well near the border and crack the egg directly into it. Repeat with the remaining 3 eggs.
  6. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 8 to 12 minutes. Check often: the dish is ready when whites are opaque white and the yolks have risen a bit but are still soft.
  7. Remove from the oven, add the feta cheese and fresh parsley.

    Wasn't that delicious? Do you want more?

        Hi, Pinkbicyle. Certain genes make people sensitive to the cholesterol in eggs. Have you discussed using a keto plan to lower your cholesterol with your primary physician? I ask because keto is inherently high in fat, including saturated fat that can affect cholesterol. If your physician thinks you need a plan low in saturated fat, please let me know here, and I will work with you toward a better fit.

      Thanks, I tried the recipe this morning, with the canned fire roasted tomatoes and peppers. It was fantastic. I varied a little more on the recipe; I added a Tbsp of Olive Oil to the pan and heated that slightly then added the entire can of vegetables. I heated that until bubbly then added cumin, oregano and red chili flakes. I then added 4 eggs to their “wells”, but I just left the pan on the stove on low heat but covered with a glass lid so I could watch until done. I increased the cheese to 4 oz and made this 2 servings. It was perfect and I couldn’t have eaten a third egg.

      But I don’t know where the butter comes in? Did I miss more fat that I should have had?

      Is it ok to use 1/2 can (about 7 oz) Fire Roasted diced tomatoes with chili peppers, bell peppers, tomato puree and onion in place of the fresh chopped? It shows only 10 carbs for 1/2 can. No sugar in the ingredients. It sure would speed up this dish and gives it an actual sauce to put the eggs into. Also I noticed the menu shows 3 eggs in ingredients but the directions state add 1 egg then 3 additional eggs and picture shows 4 eggs. Just wondered.
