Spiced Up Bolognese with Baked Eggs

I made a big batch of bolognese sauce the other day. I had some with a cauliflower mash but thought, hey I wonder if there are any other ways of using it. Flipping through an issue of Delicious magazine, I saw an South African idea that I adapted. It seems they used alot of spices in their mince and then bake it with a layer of egg on it. Now I’m sure I’m simplifying this heaps but I thought great idea!

So as I defrosted my batch of bolognese, I added in sweet paprika, a hint of mixed spice and more dried basil herbs. Into the oven it goes with a layer of whisked eggs. We had it with some zucchini noodles and it was just a simple beautiful meal. Asher of course ate with his fingers and made a beautiful mess.
