Serves 2

What You'll Need: 

2 cups Brussels sprouts

3 eggs

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Salt and pepper to taste

What to Do: 

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
2. Trim the hard stem end of each sprout and rinse them clean.
3. In a small bowl, toss the sprouts with olive oil, red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper.
4. Place the Brussels sprouts in a baking dish and roast for approximately 15 minutes, or until browned, but not burnt. Turn off the oven. (Note: You may want to lightly spray the baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking!)
5. Remove the dish from the oven and crack the eggs over the top of the roasted sprouts. Place back in the still-warm oven.
6. Let sit for 2-3 minutes, or until eggs are cooked.
7. Serve family-style with the baking dish in the center of the table. Top with shredded cheese, and enjoy with a side of nice bread.
