Steps

1 hour 30 mins

1

Preheat oven to 400°F.
2

Heat some oil in a pan and add the sliced bell peppers and onions to it. Sauté till they turn golden brown.
3

Next add tomatoes, garlic, spinach and jalapeños to the pan and sauté till all the vegetables have reduced. (I was running short on jalapeños so I just used chilli instead)
4

After the vegetables have reduced, add basil, oregano and paprika to them. You may season the vegetables with pepper too. Add salt to taste.
5

Separate the jalapeños from the vegetable-mix.
6

I used a pie plate here but a skillet works too. Spray Pam over the pie plate/skillet.
7

Transfer the vegetable-mix to the plate and form 6 tiny wells with the help of a scoop or a spoon. In each well add a dollop of ricotta and an egg.
8

Decorate as you would like to. I placed a few slices of tomato.
9

Sprinkle salt and pepper over each egg-well and cover the entire plate with a generous layer of grated Parmesan.
10

Bake for 20-22 minutes for a little runny yolks and about 40 minutes for well-done eggs and a golden-crisp layer of Parmesan cheese, just the way I like it! Serve hot with some bread, toasted or not as you would like.
