Baked Eggs With Onions and Cheese image

Eggs can be baked on a bed of almost anything -- cooked spinach and sliced tomatoes come to mind immediately -- but the trick in every case is to avoid overcooking. The consistency of baked eggs should be like that of fried eggs, with a barely cooked white and a soft, runny yolk.

Categories     breakfast, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 tablespoons butter or olive oil
4 cups sliced onions
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups coarse bread crumbs
1 cup grated Gruyere or Cantal cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
8 eggs

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Put butter or oil in large, ovenproof skillet, and set over medium-high heat. Add onions and a liberal sprinkling of salt and pepper, cover skillet and turn heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are very soft and tender but not browned, for about 15 minutes.
  • Combine bread crumbs and cheeses, and sprinkle half of this mixture over onions. Use back of spoon to make 8 little nests in the mixture, and crack 1 egg into each. Season with salt and pepper, and distribute remaining bread crumbs and cheese mixture over top.
  • Bake for 5 minutes, or until eggs are barely set. Turn on broiler, and run skillet under it to brown top for a minute or so, being careful not to overcook the eggs. Serve hot or at room temperature.

These baked eggs are a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some salt and pepper next time.

This recipe was a lifesaver on a busy morning. I was able to throw everything in the baking dish and pop it in the oven while I got ready for work.

I had some leftover roasted potatoes, so I added them to the baking dish. It was a great way to use up leftovers and it made the dish even more filling.

These baked eggs were a bit too runny for my taste. I think I'll cook them for a few minutes longer next time.
