I recently saw a recipe for BAKED eggs and I found out that I could BAKE bacon. I thought I had discovered a secret entrance into heaven. Does anyone else know about this miracle? Well, I had to try it out for myself. I made baked eggs this morning, but I didn't bake my bacon (heehee!) because it was frozen.
Here's the recipe for baked eggs (totally easy!), and I hope to bake my bacon (heeheehee!) soon. I got this from Ina Garten.
What you need:
1/4 tsp each fresh rosemary, thyme, and chopped garlic
1 tbsp fresh parsley
1-2 tbsp shaved parmesan cheese
2 tbsp cream or milk
1 tbsp butter
salt and pepper to taste
6 eggs
What to do:
Heat the broiler.
Mix the rosemary, thyme, garlic, parley, and cheese in a bowl. Set aside. (Note: You can use dry herbs, but cut the amounts in half.)
Crack the eggs carefully into two bowls (3 in each bowl), being careful not to break the yolk. Set aside.
Put 1 tbsp of milk into each of 2 oven safe dishes. Ideally, these dishes should be small and shallow to ensure even baking. Divide the butter between the two dishes and put them under the broiler for about 3 minutes or until slightly bubbly, like your personality.
Slide the eggs into the oven safe dishes and divide the herb mixture between them. No need to mix. Add salt and pepper to taste. Place under the broiler again for 5-6 minutes. Take them out of the oven and allow to rest for 1-2 minutes before serving since the eggs will finish cooking outside of the oven.
Serve with crusty bread, hashbrowns, bacon, and earl grey tea. Slainte!
