Baked eggs with cream and herbs for breakfast

If you REALLY want to start your day I suggest spent some extra time making the breakfast and serve yourself baked eggs with crispy baguette. Day started that way can’t be bad!

Ingredients (serves 2)
4 eggs
2 tbsp sour cream
½ medium onion
1 teaspoon oil
2 teaspoons butter
1 teaspoon chopped herbs (majoring, oregano, thyme,…)
salt, pepper
to serve (optional): chives, dry tomatoes, Parmesan....

Method
Heat up oil and butter in a pan. Sauté onion, season with salt, pepper and herbs. Put reaming butter into 2 ramekins and place them into the preheated oven to 300F/ 150 oC. When butter melts, put 1 teaspoon sour cream into the hot ramekins and beat in 2 eggs into each one. Pour the butter and herbs mixture on top. Place the ramekins again into the oven, bake for 7 min., increase the temp. up to 340F/ 170 oC and bake for 2 min. Turn off the oven, keep the ramekins inside the oven for a few minutes until egg whites will coagulate as you prefer.

Serve warm seasoned with salt, pepper and with your favourite additions (i.e. Parmesan). Necessary eat those baked eggs with crunchy fresh baguette!

Baked eggs with smoke ham

When it is cold outside, there is nothing better than a warm breakfast and put sandwiches aside until the Spring. The image of a liquid egg yolk makes me happy in a cloudy day. This is an express antidepressant therapy. The recipe is from Michel Roux cookbook “Eggs”.

Ingredients (make 4 portions)
1 oz (30 g) soft butter
salt, freshly ground pepper
4 eggs
3 oz (80 g) lightly smoked diced ham
4 tbsp double cream


Method
Preheat the oven to 360F /180 oC. Grease four small baking dishes, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Beat in one egg to each baking dish, put ham and 1 tbsp double cream on top. All baking dishes place in a large baking dish filled up ½ heights with boiling water. Bake for about 10 min, serve with bread.
