Low-Carb Living ~ Caprese Baked Eggs

Happy Friday the Thirteenth! When I spied this recipe on Pinterest, I KNEW I would be trying it, loving it and blogging it! Thank you to Jessica from How Sweet It Is who's recipe this is. If you are a low-carber like me, be careful of her blog -- LOTS of delicious looking Food Porn there, lol.

I halved this recipe and served it with a salad for supper -- very filling and I will be making it again soon. I used fresh mozzarella pearls (YUM) and basil from my herb garden.

Crack two eggs into each and season with salt and pepper, then add 1/2 teaspoon of cream to each egg to prevent them from drying Add a few tomatoes, cheese and basil on top and set on a baking sheet.
