Baked Eggs

By 2 Comments

This past weekend I popped my Magic Bacon into the oven and then had a another time saving, healthy option idea – what about baking my eggs?

Ingredients:

  • 8 Eggs
  • 1 Finely Chopped Tomato
  • Herbs
  • Cheese

Method:

  • Use a muffin pan – I used one of those silicon wonders as it is nice and deep.
  • Brush the insides with Melted Butter, Olive Oil or suchlike
  • Grate some cheese into the bottom of each pan
  • Top with chopped tomato and a sprinkling of herbs – I used Origanum
  • Break an egg into each pan and top with grated cheese and more herbs
  • Place in a preheated 180 degree oven for 6 to 9 minutes (soft to hard yolk)

Time: 15 minutes

I recently did a variation on my baked eggs recipe:

I mixed some fresh herbs (thyme, basil and oreganum) with some tinned chopped tomato which I spooned into the bottom of the individual muffin trays, grated some cheese on top, sprinkled with fresh herbs and chucked in the oven. In another muffin tray I put some chopped mushrooms sprinkled with Olive Oil and the rest of the chopped tomato mix. The images below show the baked eggs and Alan’s Magic Bacon.
