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!
