Napoleon eggs recipe

Preparation time: 35 minutes

Servings: 2 people

Ingredients:

• 2 eggs
• 2 slices of bread
• 1 Italian red pepper
• 1 onion
• 200 grams of mozzarella cheese
• A garlic clove
• Salt
• Ground black pepper
• Extra virgin olive oil

Elaboration:

1. Cut the bread into cubes and place them on a tray lined with baking paper. We sprinkle them with a little oil and toast them in the oven preheated to 180 °C for about 3-5 minutes, being careful not to burn them. If we want them to have more flavor, we can add garlic powder or onion powder before toasting them.
2. In a frying pan with a little oil, sauté the julienned onion, the sliced garlic clove and the chopped pepper. We also add salt and a touch of black pepper to taste.
3. We paint two clay pots with a little oil and add a first layer of pepper and onion as a base. We distribute with croutons and cover with cheese to gratin. Finally, we crack an egg in the center, on top of the cheese.
4. We cook in the oven preheated to 180 °C for about 12-15 minutes. It is important that we calculate the time and check every little bit that the egg has set, without letting it cook too much and remain dry.
