Tips

Basic baked eggs can be made easily in individual ramekins — a beautiful addition to a weekend family brunch.

 

Spooning liquid over eggs while they bake, or sprinkling them with shredded cheese can help prevent drying.

 

Eggs can be baked nestled in other foods such as rice, vegetables or sauces. For faster, more even cooking, these foods should be heated before the eggs are added. Make indentations in the heated food with the back of a spoon, about 2-inch diameter. Break and slip one egg into each indentation, or into sauce. Bake as above.

For a stovetop “baked” eggs recipe, prepare the dish in a skillet. Cook, covered, over medium heat until whites are completely set and yolks begin to thicken but are not hard.

 

This recipe is an excellent source of protein and choline, and a good source of vitamin A, vitamin D and folate.

To ensure food safety, eggs should be cooked until both the yolk and the white are firm. Consuming raw or undercooked eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness, especially for those with certain medical conditions. For recipes that call for eggs that are raw or undercooked when the dish is served, use either pasteurized shell eggs that have been treated to destroy Salmonella, or use pasteurized egg products.
