Best 6 Greek Baked Eggs Recipes

GREEK EGG CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray. In large bowl, beat eggs and whipping cream with whisk or fork until well blended. Stir in spinach, Monterey Jack and mozzarella cheeses, onion, salt, pepper flakes and oregano. Pour into baking dish.
• Bake 38 to 43 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Let stand 5 minutes. Top with tomato, feta and dill; serve with lemon wedges.

GREEK EASTER BREAD

Steps:

• Pour 1/3 cup water that is hot to the touch (about 110 degrees F) into the bowl of a stand mixer. Gently whisk in the yeast, 1 tablespoon of the flour and 1 tablespoon of the sugar. Cover with a towel and set aside until bubbly, 5 to 10 minutes (depending on the temperature of the room).
• Meanwhile, heat the milk in small saucepan over medium heat until bubbles start to form around the edges, about 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter, remaining sugar and salt. Set aside to cool, about 5 minutes.
• Using the paddle attachment, stir the milk mixture into the yeast mixture. Stir in the 2 beaten eggs. Gradually mix in the remaining flour, fennel seed and almond extract, and beat until a soft dough forms. Increase the speed to medium-high, and beat until the dough pulls away from the sides and forms a ball, about 5 minutes (the dough will be sticky).
• Remove the dough from the bowl and place on a lightly floured surface. Knead, adding more flour as needed, until the dough is as smooth as a baby's bottom, about 5 minutes.
• Put in a lightly buttered bowl, cover and place in a warm spot to rise until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Punch down the dough.
• Lightly flour a work surface. Place the dough on the surface and cut into three equal parts. Gently roll out each piece into a 16-inch-long rope. Line a wide-lipped cookie sheet with parchment paper. Transfer the ropes to the prepared sheet. Press the ropes together at one end and braid loosely. Arrange the braid in a circle. Press the ends of the dough together. Gently stretch the circle to make it 10 inches across and the hole in the middle 3 1/2 inches across. Cover and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• Rub the eggs with a little vegetable oil, and then buff with a paper towel. Gently press the eggs into the dough, evenly spaced. Cover and set aside until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Brush the bread with the remaining beaten egg. Bake until the loaf is dark golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped, about 45 minutes. Cool about 30 minutes before slicing.

GREEK EGG CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray.
• Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat another pan over medium heat. Cook spinach until heated through, about 5 minutes. Drain.
• Whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl until well combined and foamy. Add the onions, spinach, tomatoes, and feta cheese and stir to combine. Pour egg mixture into the prepared dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until eggs are set, 30 to 35 minutes.

KAGIANAS (GREEK EGGS AND TOMATO)

Steps:

• Place tomatoes into a food processor; blend until smooth.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in tomatoes, salt, and pepper; cook and stir until all liquid has evaporated from the tomatoes, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium. Add eggs; cook, stirring constantly, until mixture is evenly dry and no large chunks remain, 7 to 10 minutes.

GREEK SCRAMBLED EGGS

Steps:

• Lop off a dime-size piece of the base of the tomato using a sharp knife. Grate the tomato from the base along the coarse side of an upright hand grater.
• In a 10-inch frying pan over medium heat, warm the olive oil and add the garlic. Cook for a minute or so, careful not to burn. Add the tomatoes. Cook them until all their water has cooked off and all that's left is thick pulp, about 10 minutes.
• Pour in the eggs and herbs. Season with salt and pepper. Stir all together with a wooden spoon. Remove when the eggs are cooked to desired doneness, anywhere between 5 and 8 minutes.
• Transfer to serving plates and sprinkle with grated Greek kefalotyri cheese.

GREEK BAKED EGGS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to "Broil" and place rack in top position.
• In a small bowl, combine olives, garlic and the chopped herbs. Set aside.
• Add the butter and cream to shallow baking dish, then place in the oven until the butter cream mixture is hot and bubbly, about 3-4 minutes.
• Meanwhile, very carefully break the eggs into individual bowls, making sure to keep the yolks intact. Set aside.
• Once the butter and cream mixture is hot and bubbly, remove from the oven and carefully pour the five eggs into the dish (work quickly). Sprinkle the tops of the eggs with the olive herb mixture and top with the crumbled feta cheese. Liberally sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Place the pan back under the broiler and cook until the egg whites are nearly cooked through (approximately 4 to 5 minutes).
• Remove from the oven and allow to set for 1 minute before serving. Serve hot with toast for dipping.
