Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 cups Ciabatta or any crusty bread broken up into chunk size pieces (should be for 2 people)
- 4 Eggs (room temperature)
- 1/2 cup Parmesan
- 1/4 cup Feta Cheese
- 1 small Red onion or 1/2 large one
- 2 Garlic cloves sliced (small cloves or 1 regular)
- 1 cup Eggplant (cleaned and roughly chopped)
- 200 grams Bacon rashers
- Fresh parsley (handful)
- 2 Tbsps Olive oil (and 1 extra for a drizzle later)
- Salt & Pepper (To taste - Smell and Taste Spices)
- Calabrese Hot Spice (Pinch - Smell and Taste Spices)
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 180 degrees C.
- Place the roughly broken pieces of bread on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. On the other half of the tray place the bacon rashers. Place the tray in the oven and bake till the bread is light golden brown. Remove the toasted bread and set aside. Return the tray to the oven, turn the grill on and lower the rack if necessary. Grill the bacon till crispy, remove and set aside.
- Cook the onion in a heated oven proof pan and simmer for a good couple of minutes before adding the garlic.
- Add the eggplant and season well with salt & pepper. Drizzle the 'extra' tablespoon of oil over the eggplants and let them cook till slightly softer.
- Cut half of the bacon strips into bite size pieces and add into the eggplant. Add half of the chopped parsley and mix it in.
- Toss in the toasted bread.Sprinkle half of the Parmesan cheese and all of the feta cheese.
- Using a wooden spoon/spatula gently fold in all the ingredients as they cook on low heat. Fold rather than mix as we are trying to maintain the rough bread shapes but also make sure they are well coated in the bacon bits, eggplant, cheese, oil and seasoning.
- Add the rest of the parsley. Turn the heat off.
- Add the eggs randomly placed and bake till everything is a golden brown or until the eggs are cooked to your liking.
