Baked Eggs with Harissa Slow Roasted Tomato and Peppers – Breakfast Week

This recipe was inspired by a recent visit to my favourite brunch spot, Caravan Kings Cross. There’s very few things that match up to a leisurely brunch with their excellent coffee and the company of close friends (chat traditionally punctuated by a query of “cocktail?” from one particular friend – you know who you are!).

Take a slow brunch

I am never going to make a version of their baked eggs which is quite as good – I wouldn’t want to anyway because the experience is part of the joy. These are nonetheless a very tasty approximation and whether you chose to go the super-slow-roast route (make 1 day ahead) or the slightly speedier version, I can guarantee that you saturday morning will be made better by a sit down with a dish of these, a good coffee and a crossword.

Mmmm coffee
