Egg and Plantain Bake w/ Recipe

I've had egg and plantains several times, but never like this. Mr. D. had a craving for it the other day but we had no plantains in stock and the store I know usually carries them for sure was closed; so that moment passed. We finally got some a couple of days ago. I decided to put a spin on it and not make it the regular way which is frying the eggs with the tomatoes and onions together and frying the plantains as usual.  I had some left over peppers on hand, so I decided to make use of them. I love the outcome and there will definitely be a repeat.

Ingredients

5 - 6 eggs

2 large ripe plantains

1/2 medium onion

1/2 medium tomato

1/2 medium green pepper

1/2 medium yellow pepper

Notes:

1. Bake 20 - 25 minutes if you prefer your egg a little runny.
2. I like my pepper and onions very well cooked. So if you don't mind or have a preference for how you cook your veggies, you can skip the frying process by mixing the peppers, tomatoes and onions together with all the condiments and add to eggs directly.
