Creamy Peas With Eggs and Bacon

(1)

Your brunch dreams have come true, courtesy of this delicious egg bake. The creamy pea base is souped-up with crumpled bacon and a generous showering of herbs, which add a touch of fresh flavor to every bite. A slow bake in the oven is the key to perfectly saucy yolks, which you’ll sop up with crusty sourdough bread. Pro tip: To avoid any pesky shell bits in your dish, crack each egg into a small bowl before adding to the skillet. That way you can pull out any shell fragments before it hits the pan.
