Caprese Baked Eggs
This is my new favorite breakfast. I know I say that a lot, but I really, really, mean it this time. This is a quick and simple recipe to prepare and it tasted so delicious! I loved the flavor of the basil with the cooked tomatoes and the over-easy egg. I served my egg with a piece of rustic bread for dipping into the yolk. I highly recommend this healthy recipe.
Caprese Baked Eggs:
Ingredients:
- Cooking spray
- Mozzarella cheese
- 2-3 grape tomatoes sliced in half
- Fresh basil, chiffonade
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp milk or heavy cream
- Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste
How to Make Caprese Baked Eggs
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat a small ramekin with cooking spray.
Place a couple of tomatoes, some mozzarella cheese, and basil into the ramekin. Crack an egg into the ramekin, being careful not to break the yolk. Add the milk, a few more tomatoes, a little more mozzarella, and basil to the top. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.
Place onto a baking tray and cook for 5 minutes; Turn the oven to broil and cook for another 5 minutes or until the whites are set but the yolk remains soft. Remove from the oven and serve immediately. Enjoy.

Definitely could use a new knife or two. The ones we have were a wedding gift…still in decent shape, but not the greatest.

I just concluded egg week on my blog and one of the recipes was herb-baked eggs, originally inspired by Ina Garten. A lovely recipe that is a great deal like yours, although not identical. Sounds lovely. I don't need a knife, but I will accept it.
Would love this knife!
What a cool breakfast you came up with! Not traditional to mix Caprese with eggs, but sounds wonderful!
My brother went to culinary school and swears by ceramic knives. I have never had the luxury of trying one!
Great flavors & easy to make…my favorite type of dish! Will have to try this soon!

Eggs are becoming the best 'go to' quick, inexpensive meal. Thanks for sharing. Love your blog.
Hi Pam. I made these baked eggs last week too. I found the recipe on another food blog I love. We thought they were delicious too!!!
Yummy recipe! Thanks for the opportunity to win a nice-looking knife 🙂
I've always been curious about those knives — thanks for the chance! The eggs look yummy as well; think I may have to run over to the farmer's market now for tomatoes and basil!
I love those eggs! Can't wait to try them. I never used ceramic knives but I'd love to give them a try.
This looks yummy:) I love little self-contained dishes and look forward to trying this! ~C Reese

Would love this everyday knife! As would my veggies.

I love these eggs in the ramekins, they are truly delicious! A good switch from boring old scrambled or fried eggs. I’m having some issues with the cooking time though – I double the broiling time and the whites STILL aren’t set, and the yolk is even cooked a little. Should I lengthen the baking time instead? Thank you again for this fantastic idea!
Dani,
I would increase the baking time by 2 minutes to start with. See if that helps.
Cheers,
Pam
