BFMH: Baked Eggs

Hooray! It is Breakfast day! Fair Warning: This recipe did cause me to end up smelling like garlic the rest of the day, but it didn't seem to bother anyone.

Baked Eggs
A hybrid of Ina Garten’s herbed baked eggs and my own brain thoughts
Ingredients
Cooking Spray
2 tablespoons 1% milk
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
1/2 tsp fresh rosemary, minced
1/2 tsp fresh thyme, minced
1 tbsp fresh parsley, minced
2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
4 eggs
4 pieces hard salami, sliced
salt and pepper to taste
Method
Heat oven to 375°F. Spray cooking spray into 2 ramekins. Combine the cheese and herbs in a small bowl. Crack two eggs into a bowl or cup, taking care not to break the yolks. Do this with all the eggs.
Put a tablespoon of milk in each ramekin and put into oven for 5 minutes.
Take ramekins out of the oven and pour the two eggs into a ramekin and repeat. Add salami and then cover with herb/cheese mixture.
Finish with a dash of salt and freshly ground pepper. Bake the eggs for 10-15 minutes until the eggs have achieved desired doneness: less time for runny yolks, more time for firm yolks. Keep in mind that shallow ramekins will cook faster than deeper ramekins. Serve immediately with toast if desired.






As you can see, I only had one egg, which of course caused me to have an overcooked yolk while Husband's 2 egg dish was nice a runny.


Husband liked this breakfast so it is a win. I think that I will make it next time when we have his parents in town or my pops and his wife. It definitely looks hard and more elegant than it is to prepare, but I will say that is the power of the individual dish. It can make event the simplest of dishes look about 10 time more elegant.

Happy breaking fast!
