Jammy egg, anyone? Try this high-protein, Italian-inspired take on shakshuka, perfect for the soft food stage after bariatric surgery.

Ingredients:
6 eggs
1 can stewed tomatoes
1 can of cannellini beans
2 cups chopped bell pepper
2 cups of chopped onions
1 tbsp of minced garlic
1 jar of marinara sauce
8 oz of ricotta cheese

With your pot on medium heat, saute the onion, garlic, and bell pepper until soft. Then stir in the white beans, stewed tomatoes, and marinara.

Bring to a boil, then reduce to low heat and simmer for 10 minutes.

Add dollops of ricotta and continue to simmer for another 5 minutes.

Using the back of your spoon, make 6 wells around the pan and drop an egg into each well.

Cover and simmer for 5-10 minutes. The egg whites should be just set, so the yolk is still jammy.
