From Feed the Soul: My New Year's resolution: More brunch, even if we're stuck inside for the immediate future! It's easy to fall into a rut of boring breakfasts, if you make time to eat it at all. Toast. Cereal. Oatmeal. Repeat. But some days — ahem, weekends — call for brunch. And this dazzling, one-pan baked egg dish with just seven ingredients (plus salt and pepper) will be on the table in a snap, and yield enough for the whole family. Serve with crunchy slices of bread, potatoes or your favorite breakfast side dish, and you're good to go! The stars of this dish are the creamy goat cheese, tomato sauce with a red chili pepper kick, and soft, baked eggs. Garlic gives this recipe a hint of umami, while thinly sliced fresh basil sprinkled on top brings the whole thing together and adds a fun punch of color. It makes for a delicious breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Who said eggs are just for the morning?! Do you have a favorite breakfast or brunch food/drink recipe?

You can add any extra herbs you'd like, switch up the cheese, and easily adjust the recipe to allow for more servings without adding much additional time to the cooking process. Toss in some spinach for added nutrition or saute some onions for extra flavor. Goat cheese aside, it's quite healthy. Eggs are packed with protein and tomato sauce has plenty of vitamin C. If you're really looking to watch your calories or cut back on dairy, the goat cheese can be omitted.
