Easy Peazy Breakfast!

Hello there all the way from Tennessee!  This week's Free Recipe Friday is coming straight to you from the foothills of the Smoky Mountains.  We are in Chattanooga for the week with about 28 other family members...and all but two of them are staying in the same house.  It really is fun....until you need a bathroom! 
Despite being on vacation, Free Recipe Friday must prevail - even if it is midnight where we are.  Since this week is a laid back easy one, we will show you an easy recipe - Baked Eggs. If you love eggs like my family, you will love these!  Baked Eggs would be great any time of the week, day OR night.


WHAT YOU NEED: (makes 2 servings - double up for more)
  • 1/4 teaspoon minced fresh garlic
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated Parmesan
  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
    (Oven safe bowls)

    WHAT TO DO:
    Preheat the broiler for 5 minutes
    and place the oven rack 6 inches below the heat.

    Carefully crack 3 eggs into each of 2 small bowls
    (you won't be baking them in these)
    without breaking the yolks.
    (It's very important to have all the eggs
    ready to go before you start cooking.)

    Place 2 individual oven safe dishes on a baking sheet.
    Place 1 tablespoon of cream
    and 1/2 tablespoon of butter
    and a bit of the minced garlic in each dish
    and place under the broiler for about 3 minutes,
    until hot and bubbly.
    Quickly, but carefully, pour 3 eggs into each oven safe dish
    and sprinkle evenly with Parmesan cheese,
    then sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper.
    Place back under the broiler for 5 to 6 minutes,
    until the whites of the eggs are almost cooked.
    (Rotate the baking sheet once if they aren't cooking evenly.)
    The eggs will continue to cook after you take them out of the oven.
    We sprinkled some cheddar cheese on ours
    and some parsley to spruce it up!
    Allow to set for 60 seconds and serve hot with toasted bread.

    You can even make it an all in one breakfast by adding
    cooked bacon or ham that you've diced
    and sprinkled on the eggs
    either before or after baking.
    Delicious!
