Herb Baked Eggs over Toast

Herb Baked Eggs over Toast

I have been wanting to make this Ina Garten recipe ever since I first saw it. I had to adapt the recipe a bit to use what I had on hand and they turned out amazing. My husband and I loved these eggs – we especially loved the flavor of the herbs and Parmesan gave to them. I served our baked eggs over toast for a delicious and light breakfast.

How to Make Herb Baked Eggs over Toast

Preheat the broiler for 5 minutes. Place the rack about 4-5 inches below the heat.

Add the milk and butter to a small baking dish. Place under the broiler and cook until warm and bubbly, about 1 minute. Remove from broiler.

Crack the eggs into a small bowl, being careful to keep the yolks whole. Carefully pour the eggs into the baking dish with milk and butter. Sprinkle the top of the eggs evenly with the chives, thyme leaves, and Parmesan cheese then season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste.

  1. YUM! I love baked eggs. Although, my recipes calls for cooking the eggs in a tomato/sausage sauce. So good to mop it all up with crusty bread.

    I think I'll have breakfast for dinner tonight 😉

  2. I thought this looked delicious when I saw Ina do her's. Thanks for the push that I needed. It's perfect for breakfast, lunch or a light dinner.

    Best,
    Bonnie

  3. I have made this recipe before (as written) and it is so delicious! I love how you lightened it up, Pam! Now I can make it and not feel as guilty! I see you omitted the garlic and rosemary. I love the garlic in this dish, but I can see that with young children you would want to omit it! I love that you served it over toast, too! YUM!

  12. I recently tried Ina Garten recipe after I saw it on Meg Smith's blog. I had never had baked eggs but they turned out great with the cheese and savory herbs adding alot of flavor to the morning meal. I love the exchange of ideas and persoanl touches we get from the different blogs. Your eggs look great.
