Baked Eggs on Cheesy Caramelized Onions
"Adapted from Rachel Ray, May 2010. The amount of onions seems like a ton, but they really cook down. Rachel used Swiss cheese in the original recipe."
- Ready In:
- 1hr
- Ingredients:
- 7
- Serves:
-
4
ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 large leeks, dark green stalks discarded, halved lengthwise and cut crosswise 1/2 inch thick (about 2 pounds)
- 1 1⁄2 lbs onions, chopped
- salt and pepper
- 4 slices whole wheat bread, toasted and broken into pieces
- 6 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded
- 8 eggs
directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°. Grease a 3-quart baking dish.
- In a large, heavy pot or dutch oven, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the leeks, onions and 1/2 teaspoon salt, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. Increase the heat to medium-high, uncover and cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are softened and browned, about 8 minutes; season with salt and pepper.
- Line the bottom of the prepared baking dish with the toast and sprinkle with half of the cheese. Top with the onion mixture.
- Using the back of a spoon, make 8 deep wells in the onion mixture. Working 1 at a time, crack the eggs into a small bowl and pour them into the wells.
- Top with the remaining cheese; season with pepper.
- Bake until the egg whites are set but still jiggly, about 20 minutes. Transfer the pan to the broiler and cook until the eggs are just set, 1 to 2 minutes.

Me in my kitchen, and at the Wild game.
I am a photographer, portrait and fine art, and I am a yoga instructor. Besides cooking, I enjoy fitness and yoga, reading, organizing, gardening, puzzles, family, and HOCKEY. GO WILD!!!! I love to cook for my large husband...he is a natural powerbuilder and has a lot of muscle to feed. People ask how he got so "huge" and he has to answer, my cooking of course!
We both work out a lot, so we eat a lot of healthy food...I cook a LOT! The recipes I post and save to my cookbooks are usually healthy and lower calorie, or can be adapted to be so.
