Baked eggs is one of those dishes I have had on my list to make for a while but it has never quite happened. Pancakes are eternally popular in our house at the weekend, either smaller ones with carrot and apple, or an individual Dutch baby pancake.

Otherwise I may make French toast, with torrijas the Spanish version a current favorite. If we go for eggs in a more obvious form, it’s more likely an eggs Benedict or something similar.

Recently, however, I had baked eggs at a local restaurant which really convinced me to get on with making it myself soon. This version is a little different from what I had there, but is also easier and so tasty.

It’s a delicious mix of soft eggs, a little cheese and flavorful vegetables all cooked in one pan. Because if you’re anything like me, you need easy in the morning!

Steps to make baked eggs

Making this is really easy, as there’s not much to do and it doesn’t take long. I’ve drawn on this recipe with a couple of my own tweaks.

Cut the asparagus into roughly 1 inch lengths and slice the mushrooms.
Add the vegetables to the skillet along with a little oil and put in oven.
Once the vegetables are tender, move them slightly to the side to make two spaces for the eggs.
Crack eggs into the spaces, for over a little milk and top with cheese.
Bake until whites are translucent but yolks still soft.

I love that you only need one pan to make this and it doesn’t take long either. The only tricky bit is trying to get the timing right on cooking the eggs, as the hot skillet starts cooking them as soon as you put them in the pan. Plus, it continues to cook them after you take them out the oven too.

So, it’s worth erring on the side of less cooking time. That said, they’ll still be tasty even if cooked a little more.
