Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan).
Divide half the butter between two individual earthenware pots (gyuvecheta) or small ovenproof dishes. Layer the sliced tomatoes, green peppers, and sliced garlic in the dishes.
Place a 200g block of cheese in each dish on top of the vegetables. Sprinkle with paprika and savory (or oregano). Top with the remaining butter.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the vegetables are soft and the cheese is heated through.
Carefully remove the dishes from the oven. Make a small well in the top of the cheese and crack an egg into each. Return to the oven for a further 5-7 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolk is still runny. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately with crusty bread.
