Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

  3. Sauté the chopped onions and bell peppers in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat until they start to soften, about 5 minutes.

  8. Crack eggs into the wells and season with salt and pepper.
  9. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your desired doneness.

  11. Return the skillet to the oven and Bake for an additional 2-3 minutes.
