Yes you could, although I think you are better to prepare the base sauce on the stovetop and so I'm not sure it would seem worth it to just bake for the egg part which will only need a few minutes.

Appreciate the view - I've added in to season to taste as it's definitely something that depends on your taste.

You’ll definitely want to add some salt to this

Glad to hear you enjoyed!

Agree, it's a wonderful dish!

We haven't found this to be the case any time I've made it, but people can have sensitivities to different flavors and as I think I mention, this is the kind of recipe you can easily adjust the herbs and other seasonings to taste.

So glad to hear you enjoyed, and yes it's definitely one of those things you can adapt the seasoning to taste.

Thanks Mollie, it absolutely would!

It's definitely a favorite here, so much flavor, comforting and just all round delicious. Hope you enjoy it too!

Hi Zena, I had a check over my notes, and it is indeed 2tsp of cumin - there is a fairly large amount of sauce here plus the tomatoes kind of absorb it. If you're not comfortable with that much then feel free to reduce and try it, then you can always go back up next time. Either way I hope you enjoy it!

Thanks, Jeff, it's definitely a really tasty dish, hope you manage to try it.

Thanks, it's a lovely tasty variation - hope you enjoy!

Thanks, Mila, it probably does help it have broader appeal!

Thanks, Miz Helen, I think I am going to have to make it again soon, it was so delicious! Hope you have a great Mothers Day weekend as well.

Thanks, Justine, it is such a great dish. I need to make it again soon!

Thanks, Caroline, yes it is a good way to get a bit more red meat if you don't manage much, but could do with some, otherwise. And really tasty as well!

It is incredibly tasty, and agree with or without the beef it's very tasty, the beef does as you say make it that bit heartier.
