Guest guest Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 I picked up some fresh, free-range eggs from the lady I have bought eggs from before, she advertised last summer on Craig's List. Her family keeps chickens on their land (and these are some spoiled chickens!) We've had just a few warm (almost 50 degrees F) days and already she says her dad has eggs coming out of his ears. These eggs taste like nothing you've ever had from a grocery store, they are wonderful. Tonight I baked two of them in a small ramekin with some margarine. I added salt and some chopped green onions when they were done, and oh my gosh, I think this is my new favorite egg dish!! Easier than soft-boiled or fried eggs. If you like runny yolks and have never had baked eggs, throw 1 tbsp of butter or margarine in a small oven-proof dish, melt it, then crack 2 eggs into it. Bake at 350 degrees F for about 15 minutes. The whites should be cooked through but the yolks should still be runny. Audrey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 My mom used to make me baked eggs by buttering one cup of a muffin pan, buttering a piece of bread with the crust removed and then using it to line the muffin cup, then breaking an egg into it and baking it until set. I loved having my egg and toast all-in-one, and I still make this now and then when I need comfort food!

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 I'm having a group of teenagers and this sounds like a great idea. How long do you bake it and at what temperature? Thank you.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Hi Diane! I bake them at 350 degrees, for about 10 minutes, but you may want to do a test run before baking a whole batch of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 This sounds really good, how long do you bake it? Susan Jodda Mitchell <jadamirada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 That has been one of my favorite ways to cook eggs for a long time now....the recipe is called shirred eggs. I have some special Pyrex dishes that were made in the 1920's that are just for baking eggs...they are called " Shirred Egg Dishes " . And, right now, I am getting between 35 to 46 eggs a day from my hens so we have plenty of eggs to bake!! Nancy C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Thank you! Because of flooding rain the girls will be coming next week, so I have time to do a test run :>) Hope it is a pretty weekend so that the girls can be outside. Also the farm across the street has mares ready to foal. Wouldn't that be great to see! Diana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
