This recipe for Baked French Eggs is the epitome of quick and easy. I call them "French" as this recipe is my own take on an old French technique of cooking eggs in the oven. I use the same technique but adapted baking them individually in a muffin tin. The advantage of this is that you can make eggs for everyone at one time and it doesn't get any better than that.
Baking Eggs Convenient and Efficient
Baking eggs is incredibly simple and you can several eggs in one fell swoop. There are tons of recipes for special breakfast bowls, tarts and hash brown pies and I love those, too. This recipe is all about the incredible edible egg and serves as an easy way to make several eggs at one time to accompany any of your favorite breakfast sides. The best part? Everyone gets to eat at the same time, it doesn't get any better than that.
Baked French Eggs
These eggs are drizzled with cream, or a little melted butter, and seasoned simply with salt and pepper. I include the baking times so, you can cook them to your preferred doneness and they reheat like a dream. Don't you just hate it when you have a house full of guests, and you can only cook 3 eggs at a time to serve them? This technique solves that dilemma forever.
