I cannot express how delicious these Italian Baked Eggs are. The aromas of this dish baking in a warm oven alone are just tantalizing. Then, add in bold Italian spices and a healthy sprinkle of mozzarella cheese on top will and this will delight your taste buds with every bite. —fitlexyskitchen

Then, pour in the marinara sauce and turn off stove heat. Using a spoon, make three little wells in the meat mixture.

In the last 5 minutes sprinkle on a bit of cheese and finish baking. The eggs will be ready when the whites are fully set, but yolks are still runny.
