This was a great dish for a quick supper after I got in late from work. I only made one slight change which was to sprinkle some grated cheese over the eggs before I baked them... Mmmmmm. Really fast, really easy, really tasty.

Method
step 1
Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Heat the oil, then cook the pepper until soft, stirring occasionally. Add tomatoes and basil, then cook, stirring, until the liquid has evaporated. Season, then set aside.
step 2
Meanwhile, mix the butter and garlic together and use to butter both sides of the bread. Remove the crusts. Push the bread slices into the bases of a greased four-cup Yorkshire pudding tin and bake for 15 mins.
step 3
Remove from the oven and divide the pepper mixture between the 4 bread-lined cups. Make a well in the centre of each, crack an egg into each well, season, then bake for 10 mins until the eggs are set. Serve hot with a green salad and some basil leaves.
