Easy Baked Eggs with Red Pepper, Power Greens and Cheese

These easy baked eggs with red peppers, wilted greens and cheese is easy to assemble and make on a weekend morning for brunch. Bonus: it’s totally delicious! 

Easy Baked Eggs = The Perfect Brunch Dish For Two!

When Thomas and I spent a night at the Cedar Spring Inn last December, we had the most delicious baked eggs for breakfast. The inn’s owner offered to share the recipe, and we’ve been itching to make them ever since! A few weekends ago we had all of the ingredients on hand and whipped these up for brunch. Talk about a Sunday morning treat!

Pick your cheese!

I tinkered with the recipe just a bit to make it my own. The original had crumbled goat cheese, which was DIVINE, but we didn’t have that on hand, so we used a combo of mini cubes of goat gouda and shredded swiss cheese. I mean really, you can’t go wrong with any cheese here! Sprinkle what you have on top! : )

The Perfect Baked Egg Dish

You’ll want to find a shallow tiny ramekin to use for this. I believe the shallower ones are made for crème brûlée or au gratins. I got mine from Crate and Barrel a few years ago. Grease them with a little butter on the bottom and sides.

Saute your veggies

Next, you’ll want to cook your veggies just a bit. I used fresh red peppers and a power greens mix, but any minced veggie and easy-to-wilt green like baby spinach would be perfect. I love that this recipe sneaks the veggies in!

Add veggies and crack eggs

Split the veggies between your two dishes and crack two eggs in each.

Pour in half and half or milk

Next pour over 1 tablespoon of half and half (or a little milk for an even lighter option.)

Add salt and peppa!

Sprinkle on cheese

Bake

Bake at 425 degrees for 15-18 minutes, depending on how well cooked you want your egg yolks to be.

Allow to cool just a bit so your dish isn’t too hot to the touch and so you don’t burn your mouth when you dig in!

    The recipe looks delicious, Kath! I’ve actually never tried making baked eggs before, I didn’t find out they were a thing until I began reading blogs! 😀

    Could I make this in a casserole dish? Maybe a shallow one?

      Yes, I would think so. Just make sure the depth is similar.

    Those look AMAZING, and pretty simple too! For all my cooking I can’t believe I’ve never made baked eggs, so thanks for the inspiration!

    Oh my word, these look incredible!! Egg-ceptional. I’m sorry, but I had to. 😉 We usually scramble our eggs unless we’re baking them over a tomato sauce, but I hadn’t thought to cook them like this over vegetables. Over-easy or over-medium would be divine. It’s going on our list of recipes to make next week! Also, your photos are beautiful!

    Do you know what size your ramekins are? I have some (I think they are 4oz) that I use to make Creme Brulee but I’m not sure that they would fit two eggs. I will have to give a try!

      I am not sure of the exact ounces, but these are a little bigger than the typical ramekin I think. More like a creme brulee

      I love aged gouda, manchego, sharp cheddar, and goat cheese.

        I’ve never tried manchego! And what’s the difference between havarti and gouda?

        I suppose you like the strong cheeses? (from your selection of AGED gouda and SHARP cheddar?)

    Made this for lunch–delicious! I didn’t need as much butter as you called for, and yolks were firm after 16 minutes at my altitude. I’ll definitely make this again. Smoked cheddar ftw!
