Ingredients

4 Large eggs
4 slices Canadian bacon
1/3 Green bell pepper, diced
1/3 Red bell pepper, diced
1/3 Shallot, minced
1 tablespoon Canola oil
1 1/3 tablespoons Minced fresh herbs such as tarragon, chives, parsley or combination thereof
Salt and pepper

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

2. Heat oil over medium high heat and saute shallots to soften before adding in peppers and cook, stirring often until slightly softened but colors are still bright. Remove from heat and season to taste with salt and black pepper.

3. Lightly grease muffin tin with 4 cups and insert one slice of Canadian bacon into each cup.

4. Divide pepper mixture among both cups and carefully crack one egg into each bacon cup on top of the peppers.

5. Bake in center rack of oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until whites are set but yolks are still slightly runny (bake longer or shorter according to taste.)

6. Season eggs to taste and carefully remove by gently scooping out bacon cups with spoons and rubber spatulas.

Serve garnished with fresh herbs.
