Ingredients for Baked Eggs With Variations

  • 4 slices of bread (challah, sourdough, or your favorite)
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened
  • Deli Ham
  • 4 large eggs
  • Bacon
  • Mushrooms
  • Green Onions
  • Spinach
  • Tomatoes
  • Green Peppers
  • Sausage Links
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Gruyere, or your favorite)

How to Make Baked Eggs With Variations

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Butter the outside of each bread slice.
  3. Gently press each bread slice into a greased muffin tin cup, forming a nest.
  4. If using ham, place a small piece in the bottom of each bread cup.
  5. Crack one egg into each bread cup.
  6. For plain baked eggs, skip to step 10.
  7. Add your desired toppings, such as diced vegetables, herbs, or spices.
  8. If using sausage, place one small sausage on the side of each egg, sticking up slightly.
  9. Top each egg with shredded cheese.
  10. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your liking. 10 minutes will result in softer yolks, 15 minutes will result in fully cooked yolks.
  11. Let cool slightly before carefully removing from the muffin tin and serving. Enjoy!

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.
