Ingredients for Baked Eggs

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • Ham
  • Chives
  • Ortega Chiles
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • Cheddar Cheese
  • Salt And Pepper

How to Make Baked Eggs

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a blender, combine 6 large eggs, 1/2 cup milk, and 1/4 cup sour cream. Blend until completely smooth.
  3. Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  4. Evenly distribute 1 cup of diced cooked meat (e.g., bacon, sausage, chorizo) in the prepared pan.
  5. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of chopped chives or onions and 1-2 jalapeños (minced), or your preferred chili, over the meat.
  6. In a bowl, gently mix the blended egg mixture with 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese).
  7. Pour the egg and cheese mixture evenly over the meat and vegetables in the baking pan.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the eggs are set and lightly golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
  9. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with warm tortillas, salsa, and sour cream!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
