Low Stress Baked Eggs

"The original recipe came from a set of photo-recipe cards and was called "Eggs Lorraine," which just HAPPENS to be my mom's name! We fell in love with 'em, and when I made them for my folks, I ended up giving them a set of ramekins so they could make 'em at home, too! COOL THING: pop 'em in the oven, then get dressed for the day. By the time you're ready, so are the eggies! NOTE: This recipe is for ONE serving, just repeat for each additional portion."

directions

  • Preheat oven to 350; grease ramekin with butter.
  • Sprinkle HALF of the cheese on the bottom of the dish.
  • Add the eggs; break egg yolks with a knife but do NOT stir.
  • Drizzle milk over eggs (use 1 tablespoon PER egg; 2 T. for 2 eggs; 3 T. for 3 eggs).
  • Sprinkle with remaining cheese; add pre-cooked or semi-crunchy bacon if being used (or add right before serving).
  • Salt and pepper according to your tastes.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes; eggs should be "set" but not "hard." Cheese will be bubbly.
  • Run a knife around the edge of the pan, slide onto dining plate.
  • NOTE: To serve a crowd, prepare in an 8x8 or 9x9 or 13x9 pan, laying cheese and eggs according to the number of diners being served. Add 1 T. milk per each eggie. Remember to break yolks.
  • PRE-PREPARATION: Great dish for serving overnight company. Prepare ahead, pop in the oven on timed-bake, and it will be ready when you get up! Even the MAID isn't THAT organized--but YOU are! :-).

  1. Excellent - I used canadian bacon, tasted GREAT. I do have a warning: "WIDER is better!!!" (I had a slight problem -- made it with 5-eggs, but the dish was a bit too deep & it didn't cook evenly -- works great with wider, shallower pan!) Thanks!
     
  2. Wow, this was REALLY good! I used a shallow, square 1.75 cup corningware casserole dish with 2 eggs/half & half and crumbled bacon. Baked about 23 minutes, in hindsight I could have gone with 20 min. and just let it set a little out of the oven. I'm eating low carb and am always looking for new breakfast ideas. I really didn't think this would be that much different. I was wrong. Rich and tasty. I'm going to try making it with spinach and Yarlsberg swiss for a change from cheddar. Thanks, Debber!
     
  3. Very good eggs. I did find them to be overcooked at 25 min, so will try next time for 20 min and let them set for a few minutes after removing from the oven. I substituted Canadian bacon and also served the eggs on toasted and buttered English muffin halves.
     
  4. Thank you for this simple but yummy recipe. We did as others have and pre cooked the bacon, but broke it up a little and scattered across the top. Eggs were a tad overcooked but only because I left the temperature too high from baking the bacon. Will have to try to remember to reduce the heat next time.
     
  5. Wow! Very delicious. Next time I will add some fresh spinach for a little veggie. Very happy with this meal. Thanks!
