This egg recipe screams comfort, convenience, delicious and much more! Call it egg bake recipe, or baked eggs, either way–it’s worth trying!

BAKED EGGS

Baking eggs is one of my favorite ways to cook eggs for a crowd. You’ll love today’s egg recipe since they’re baked in bread bowls so they feel like a full meal.

You can choose any type of bread works great here, as long the breads is not pre-sliced. I love to slice only the tops off and then remove the inside of the bread.

Quick note on the bread, if you start with a crunchy type of bread such as a ciabatta, you’ll certainly end up with crunchy eggs in bread bowls.

Likewise if you start with a soft type of bun, you’ll end up with soft shells for the eggs. I chose pretzel buns today because i love how chewy they are.

This egg recipe are super easy and you can adjust the cooking to soft, medium or hard boiled eggs.

OVEN BAKED EGGS

Here’s why I love to bake eggs in the oven.

-You can cook a dozen eggs (or more) at the same time.

-No oil or butter splats on your stove.

-While the eggs are baking, use the time to finish off your brunch or breakfast preparation.

-You have full control on how runny or hard you prefer the yolks to be.

-They come out perfect and evenly cooked every single time.

-You can add flavor and different toppings, cheeses and bake them differently.

-If you’d like to skip the bread, try baking the eggs in a large tomato (after removing the cavity) or in an avocado for a low carb keto version.

-You can bake the eggs in a buttered muffin pan. Likewise, you can bake the eggs all at once in a large casserole dish with herbs, garlic and cream.

HOW TO BAKE EGGS

Now that you know why I love this recipe, here’s a step by step guide:

First of all,start with the bread. Pick your favorite type of bun and slice off the tops only, not in the middle like you would for a burger. Remove any extra bread form the inside.

Sprinkle a layer of cheese at the bottom of the bread. This is probably optional, but I absolutely love it because it prevents soggy bottoms from the eggs.

Now the eggs, choose quality Burnbrae eggs. Whether free run, free range, organic or omega 3 eggs. Crack the egg in a small bowl and then carefully pour it over the cheese.

Season the eggs with salt, pepper, fresh thyme and add in tomatoes. Here’s where you can add your favorite toppings.

Bake for 20 minutes. If you’d like a harder yolk, switch to the broiler and broil for just 1-2 minutes.

Finally, add a layer of cheese on the top of the egg yolks and bake for 2 minutes just until the cheese melts.

Serve the egg bowls right away! Sprinkle extra herbs and seasoning if you like 🙂

BAKED EGGS TIPS:

-Pick quality eggs.

-Make sure the eggs you’re baking are all the same size so they bake evenly.

-Adjust the done-ness of the yolks by using the broiler after baking.

-Add any topping you prefer to the eggs as long as they can cook at the same time as the eggs.

-Sprinkle a layer of cheese at the bottom of the bread to avoid a soggy  bread.

-Season your eggs generously since the bread is plain.

-Serve right away or store them in the fridge and rewarm them in an oven for 5 minutes.

ENJOY!!! 🙂
