Notes
- If you don't have Worcestershire sauce on hand or prefer not to use it, you can substitute it with soy sauce, tamari sauce, or balsamic glaze for a similar depth of flavor. Alternatively, you can omit the Worcestershire sauce altogether and adjust the seasoning to taste.
- If you don't have an oven-safe skillet, you can transfer the cooked ingredients to a baking dish before adding the eggs and baking in the oven.
