Beer Braised Eggs

When beer and eggs meet in a skillet, magic happens. This smoky, savory dish simmers Pete & Gerry’s rich Organic Free-Range eggs in a bed of spiced peppers and onions all braised in your favorite brew. The result is jammy yolks, melty cheddar, and deep flavor in every bite. Serve it up with tortillas or toast and call it brunch, lunch, or dinner. And the rest of that can? That’s a chef’s treat.

Instructions

1. Heat a large skillet (cast iron works well here!) over medium-high heat. Add the oil and swirl to coat the bottom.
2. Add the onion, bell peppers, and jalapeno pepper. Saute for 5 minutes, or until onion starts to brown.
3. Sprinkle salt, chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder onto the veggies. Stir 1-2 minutes to toast the spices.
4. Pour in the beer and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
5. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, uncovered, or until reduced by half and the veggies are soft and tender.
6. Reduce heat to medium and make six small indentions in the vegetable mix evenly spaced around the skillet. Crack one egg into each indention.
7. Cover and simmer for approx. 5 minutes or until eggs begin to set. Sprinkle with cheese and cover again.
8. Simmer for another 3-5 minutes, or until yolks are set to your preferred degree of doneness.
9. Serve with warmed tortillas or toasted bread.
