Today’s recipe is one of my favorite savory dishes to serve at brunch as it packs quite the flavorful punch, and well, heat like this is sure to wake anyone up! Its name is fitting; Spicy Eggs in Hell includes poached eggs in a fiery tomato sauce with serrano peppers, onion, garlic and mozzarella cheese. As a vegetarian, I don’t plan on sacrificing flavor in a dish like this, so I add vegetarian “sausage,” and the result is magnificent (and nobody is ever the wiser). Lastly, I garnish with fresh basil from the herb garden, and toast french bread…because toast is ALWAYS a good idea.
This savory skillet masterpiece is not only super simple to make, it’s even easier to serve. While so many brunch dishes require a bit of time planning, you don’t need to worry about this one getting cold as every gathers around the table. Just keep your Spicy Eggs in Hell simmering in the cast-iron skillet, and enjoy! Truly, MKR
