Ingredients

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 cup chopped yellow or crookneck squash ½-inch pieces
1 cup chopped zucchini ½-inch pieces
⅔ cup chopped tomatoes
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
4 teaspoons capers
⅓ cup chopped bocconcini or fresh mozzarella ½-inch pieces
6 large basil leaves chiffonaded and divided
4 large eggs
¼ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese See Note

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add crookneck or yellow squash, zucchini, and tomatoes. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Stir in capers. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are just tender.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in 4 large fresh basil leaves, chiffonaded, and bocconcini.
Divide the vegetable mixture between two ramekins.
Crack two eggs into each ramekin, taking care not to break the yolks.
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and place in the oven. Bake until the whites are almost cooked, about 10 minutes.
Sprinkle each serving with 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Bake for 2 additional minutes, or until the white are cooked and the yolks are still soft.
Sprinkle each serving with the remaining basil. Serve immediately.

Notes

For a vegetarian-friendly dish, be sure to use Parmesan cheese made with vegetable rennet, not calf rennet. If you can't find it, substitute with another vegetarian-friendly cheese or omit it.
