ALMOST COMPANION BREAD'S BAKED EGGS

Almost Companion Bread's Baked Eggs image

Companion Bread in St. Louis makes the best baked eggs I've ever had. They have several versions in the cafes and have posted the potato version that inspired this recipe at http://www.companionstl.com/baked-eggs-potatoes/. My version came from an effort to lighten it up by not using cream. I also made a few changes based on personal taste and what I happened to have in the house when I decided to give this a whirl.

Time 55m

Yield 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

2 medium red potatoes, chopped
1 tablespoon light olive oil
1 teaspoon rosemary, dried
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon flour
1 cup skim milk
4 large eggs
1/2 cup fresh mozzarella cheese (diced or shredded)
1/4 cup ricotta cheese (optional)
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, shredded
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (I use Durkee's)
2 teaspoons kosher salt (divided)
black pepper (freshly cracked)
cooking spray

Steps:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Toss potatoes with olive oil, rosemary, 1 tsp kosher salt and pepper.
Roast potatoes on a jellyroll pan at 450° for 20 minutes until golden and crispy.
While potatoes are roasting, melt butter in small saucepan or pot.
Add flour to melted butter, stirring to make roux. A little at a time, stir in milk. Heat on medium until sauce thickens.
Remove from heat; add parmesan and Durkees or mustard.
Whisk eggs in bowl and add small amount of heated milk mixture to temper.
Slowly combine tempered eggs and remaining milk mixture and whisk until smooth.
Season well with 1 tsp kosher salt and black pepper.
Spray loaf pan with cooking spray and place roasted potatoes in the bottom of the pan.
Top with mozzarella and ricotta cheese.
Pour eggs over potatoes but do not overfill.
Bake at 375° for 25-35 minutes until puffed and lightly browned. Eggs will fall once removed from oven.
NOTE: The cafe also serves a version with bacon or with just cheese (no potatoes in either), so feel free to experiment with extra ingredients. I think that this would be great with mushrooms too.

Tips:

Use a variety of breads: From classic baguettes to hearty sourdough, the type of bread you use will impact the flavor and texture of your baked eggs. Experiment with different options to find your favorite.
Don't overcrowd the baking dish: Make sure there is enough space for the eggs to spread out and cook evenly. If the dish is too crowded, the eggs will steam instead of bake.
Use fresh herbs and vegetables: A sprinkling of fresh herbs or a handful of chopped vegetables can add flavor and color to your dish. Try using chives, parsley, tomatoes, or spinach.
Season the eggs generously: Don't be afraid to season the eggs with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices, such as paprika, cumin, or garlic powder.
Bake the eggs until they are set: The cooking time will vary depending on the type of bread and the size of the eggs. Bake the eggs until the whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your liking.

Almost companion breads baked eggs are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
