Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup Half and half
  • 2 shakes Tabasco sauce
  • 1 Tomato, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup Cheese, shredded

Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 425ðF (220ðC).
  2. 2

  3. 3
    Add the sliced onions and mushrooms, sautéing until softened and lightly browned.

  7. 7
    Pour the egg mixture evenly over the seafood in the skillet.
  8. 8
    Allow the eggs to cook on the stovetop for 2-3 minutes, gently shaking the pan or lifting the edges with a spatula to let uncooked egg flow underneath, until the edges are set.
  9. 9
    Arrange the thin tomato slices in a circular pattern on top of the setting eggs.
  10. 10
    Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the tomatoes and eggs.
  11. 11
    Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 4-5 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the cheese is melted.

    Remove from the oven and let cool for a minute before sliding onto a serving plate.
  13. 13
    Serve immediately with a dollop of sour cream on the side.

Note

For a lighter version, you can substitute low-fat sour cream for regular sour cream.

Using a non-stick oven-safe skillet helps reduce the amount of butter needed and ensures easy release.

Ensure your skillet is oven-safe before placing it in the oven. If your handle is not heat-resistant, wrap it in foil.

You can adjust the spiciness by adding more or less Tabasco sauce to the egg mixture.

Feel free to swap the seafood varieties based on what is fresh and available at your local market.
