"Although I cannot lay an egg, I am a very good judge of omelettes." -George Bernard Shaw

The refrigerator light goes on...

I had a version of this in a Middle Eastern restaurant. It is a great dish and you can make a big pot of the sauce and reheat it later. Instead of brown rice, this would be great with drained and rinsed chick peas in the bottom of the dish (1/2 of a 15-ounce can per serving), topped with the sauce and then the eggs.
