Directions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
In a 10-inch heavy-bottomed skillet, heat leftover chili over medium heat until it reaches a simmer. Using a wooden spoon, create 4-6 wells in the chili, then drop a cracked egg into each. Top eggs with salt and pepper to taste.

Loved this. My wife made homemade chili last night that was so good I wanted it for breakfast and we did exactly this to it. Thanks!
So glad to hear that! Thanks for taking the time to let me know!
Heating up amazing left over chili that my husband made yesterday and was looking for something like chili-shakshuka. This is perfect!
Awesome, glad it gave you some inspiration! Thanks so much for letting me know.
I love hot chili, and I love eggs, so, this is a perfect breakfast, with 🧀 and 🥑. Having again tomorrow morning with my neighbor and margaritas !!
Googled ‘chili and…? and found this excellent, easy recipe. Microwaved my homemade leftover chili, spread in Pyrex pie pan, then followed directions exactly. It’s a keeper!
Having this for breakfast tomorrow morning
Minoum!!!!!
