Eggs in Purgatory
Ingredients
- 3 cups: red bell peppers (thinly sliced)
- 2 cups: yellow onion (thinly sliced)
- 1/4 cup: water
- 1 (15-ounce) can: crushed tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons: extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon: paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon: ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon: ground coriander
- 1/8 teaspoon: ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon: cayenne pepper
- 3/4 teaspoon: kosher salt
- 4 large eggs
- Chopped fresh cilantro leaves and tender stems
Place the bell peppers, onions, and 1/4 cup water in a 9 1/2-inch deep-dish microwave-safe glass pie plate. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and microwave on high until the vegetables are tender-crisp, about 8 minutes, stirring once halfway through and re-covering with plastic wrap. Carefully hold the bell pepper mixture back with a spatula or slotted spoon and pour out water into the sink.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, paprika, ground cumin, coriander, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, and 3/4 teaspoon of the salt to drained bell pepper mixture. Cover the tomato mixture tightly with plastic wrap and poke a small hole in the center of the plastic wrap to let steam escape. Microwave on high until the sauce is bubbly and hot, about 8 minutes.
Use the back of a large spoon to make 4 deep wells in the tomato mixture. Crack 1 egg into each well. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and microwave on high until the egg whites are just set but the yolks remain runny, about 2 minutes and 30 seconds (if the egg whites are not fully cooked then microwave longer in 30 second increments).

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, mustard, honey, and dried parsley.
Do not pull the rolls apart. Instead, using a large serrated knife, slice the rolls in half so you have a top and bottom "slab."
Place the bottom layer into the prepared baking pan, cut side up, then spread with the mayo. Layer half of the ham onto the rolls. Next, layer the Swiss cheese over the ham, and top with remaining ham slices. Place the top slab of rolls onto the sandwiches. Slowly and evenly pour the butter mixture over the rolls. Let stand for 5 minutes.
Cover the pan with foil. Bake for 15-17 minutes. Then remove the foil from the baking pan, return the sliders to the oven and bake uncovered for an additional 5 minutes until rolls are golden. Cut into individual sandwiches and serve immediately.
