Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound mild or spicy Italian sausage links, sliced or whole
  • 2 medium bell peppers (red and yellow), sliced into strips
  • 1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 6 large eggs, preferably at room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Optional: chopped parsley or chives for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and let it come up to temperature while prepping.
  2. In a large bowl, toss sliced sausage, bell peppers, and onion with olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until well-coated.
  3. Spread the sausage and veggie mixture evenly across a rimmed 12×17-inch sheet pan in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding.
  4. Bake for about 15 minutes until peppers soften and sausage browns.
  5. Remove the pan and create six small wells among the sausage and peppers. Crack one egg into each well carefully.
  6. Return the pan to the oven and bake for 8-12 minutes depending on desired egg doneness (8 minutes for slightly runny yolks, 12 minutes for firmer eggs).
  7. Remove from oven and let rest for a couple of minutes. Sprinkle fresh herbs on top if desired and serve straight from the pan.

Notes

Use room-temperature eggs for even baking and to reduce cracking. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure caramelization. Rotate the pan halfway through baking if your oven has hot spots. Fresh garlic is preferred but garlic powder can be used. For a vegetarian version, substitute sausage with roasted mushrooms or tofu. Adding cheese in the last 3 minutes of baking adds a delicious twist. Leftovers keep well for up to 3 days refrigerated and reheat quickly.
