How to Make Quick Breakfast Casserole For Two?

Before you start, preheat the oven to 180C/ 356F.

First Step: Heat some olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and garlic and sauté' until the onion softens about 3-4 minutes. Then add the crushed tomatoes, salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, and chilli flakes. Simmer for about another 8-10 minutes then turn off the heat.

Second Step: Divide the mixture between two small baking dishes or 2 small casserole dishes. Crack the eggs over the mixture in the baking dishes.

Step Three: Sprinkle the cheddar cheese on the top (you can add some salt and pepper if you like) then bake for 15-20 minutes.
