Notes
- Baking dish or ramekins You can use either, I personally like serving them individually and that also means everyone gets to choose the additions they like The Cheese: I usually use sharp Cheddar, it adds more flavor and the kids love the little pools of melted cheese but you can use any cheese you like.
- Smoked cheese, feta and Emmental are great with eggs too.
- No matter what cheese combo I use, I always add parmesan to the milk or cream for flavor Herbs herbs de Provence, oregano and basil from the dry department work beautifully with baked eggs Vegetables: Spinach, onions, tomatoes are great choices to add variety to your baked eggs but keep in mind that you need to saute them before adding them to the eggs for two reasons.
- For one they take longer to cook so if you add them raw, the eggs will be done before the vegetables get a chance to be cooked through.
- The other reason is to reduce the water content.
- If you add the vegetables raw your baked eggs will turn soggy Salt: if you decide to add cheese to your baked eggs just remember that you need to reduce the salt.
- You can always add salt but you can’t take it away
