These Easy Baked Eggs are made easily in a shallow casserole dish or individual ramekins and customized with steamed broccoli, chopped tomatoes, fresh herbs, and grated Parmesan or Asiago cheese.
This quick breakfast or brunch dish comes together in less than 20 minutes and can be customized to suit your taste with what you have on hand. As I always say, dress it up or dress it down. Serve it with whole grain or hearty white toast, toasted English muffins, or avocado toast. If you like this recipe, try steak and eggs, Denver omelette, and croque madame.
Ingredient Notes and Substitutions
- Butter: salted or unsalted
- Fresh herbs: such as thyme, rosemary, parsley, dill, or cilantro
- Cheese: Asiago, Parmesan, Gruyere, Mozzarella, Gouda, Feta, or Cheddar cheese.
How to Make Baked Eggs
First, steam the broccoli in the microwave for about 2 minutes. Then drain well and coarsely chop it. Set it aside for a few minutes.
Whether using a casserole dish, ovenproof nonstick skillet, or individual ramekins, grease them well or spray them with nonstick cooking spray. Then, crack the eggs in the dish and sprinkle with about one tablespoon of fresh herbs, such as thyme, rosemary, and Italian parsley.
Bake the eggs for about 10 minutes or until they start to set. Carefully sprinkle the tops of the eggs with steamed broccoli, tomatoes, and grated Parmesan Cheese.
Bake for another 5 minutes or until the whites are set. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with more fresh herbs. For best results, serve promptly.
Preparation Tips and Storage
- Grease the baking dish well. Eggs tend to stick, so you want them to release easily.
- Cook the eggs to your desired doneness, but remember that they will continue to cook for a few minutes outside the oven. I like my yolks runny, but you can cook them longer for firmer yolks.
- There are lots of fresh vegetables that add flavor to eggs. Look inside your fridge and see what you have. Just remember that some veggies may need to be sauteed or steamed.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave at reduced power.
Customize to Suit Your Taste
- Veggies: broccoli, tomatoes, mushrooms, asparagus, onions, bell peppers, corn, or spinach.
- Cheese: Asiago, Parmesan, Mozzarella, Gouda, Feta, or Cheddar cheese.
- Fresh Herbs: rosemary, thyme, Italian Parsley, Dill, Chives, or Tarragon.
- Protein: baked ham, crispy cooked bacon, or browned sausage
