Baked Eggs 8 Ways

Before my ankle injury, I had become obsessed with baked eggs. I got the idea from the Domestic Geek. You can make so many different styles. I have made spinach, artichoke and cheese. I have made bacon, tomato and Swiss too. Mushroom is also delicious. I even made one Miga style with broken corn chips, salsa and cheese. The possibilities are endless! I LOVE the texture of the egg whites cooked this way. That is saying a lot because I am not an egg white fan. I usually find them a little rubbery, but baked eggs are softer. I really really like the texture. You can make them healthy with all veggies or decadent with lots of cheese, sausage and/ or bacon. It is all up to you. I have baked several ramekins at once and was able to cook them according to each persons taste. Dear sister likes her yolk set so I just left hers in longer. Easy! So here are eight ways to enjoy baked eggs. I hope you will find one to make for your breakfast.
