How To Make huevos habaneros (eggs, havana style)

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly oil 4 mini (4-inch) ramekin or mini baking dishes; set aside.
  • Step 2
    Heat oil in medium skillet over low heat until oil is fragrant. Cook onion, bell pepper and garlic in hot oil until tender, about 8 to 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Step 3
    Add tomatoes, pimientos and sherry, and cook until thickened, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Step 4
    Divide the sauce among the 4 ramekins. For each ramekin, break two eggs into a saucer, and slide them on top of the tomato mixture. Drizzle the top of each with 1 tablespoon melted butter.
  • Step 5
    Bake at 350°F for 10 to 12 minutes or until the whites are set and the yolks are still soft. Season with salt, pepper and chopped parsley, and serve immediately (still in the baking dish).
