last week, i made baked eggs. blake was especially skeptical of this dish because he's picky and really only likes his eggs scrambled. but, even blake liked them. and it was so very easy.
1. turn on the oven. i was making banana bread already so my oven was at 350. (the barefoot contessa, my favorite celebrity chef, says to do this in the broiler, but, again, i was already using the oven...)
2. take a small dish that can go in the oven (i used a 2-cup pyrex with a flat bottom, like the small ones seen here.) and put in a dab of butter, maybe 1/2 tbsp and about 2 tbsp milk or cream. put it in the oven until the butter/milk is hot and bubbly.
3. crack 2 eggs in a separate bowl and then pour the eggs into the pyrex.
4. sprinkle some chopped fresh garlic over the eggs. i also used rosemary and savory spices, but you can use whatever you like.
5. put it in the oven until the whites look cooked.
it's so good. i thought about it for days afterwards.

oo, i'll try it! it does sound delish. i'll bet the eggs come out in a cute round shape from the pyrex.
I'm not sure what I did (or didn't do) but my eggs weren't so great.
I used muffin tins (don't have a pyrex) and the eggs were fine but mostly tasted like soft boiled eggs with garlic and thyme. To cook the whites all the way I ended up hard boiling the yolks.
Are baked eggs similar to poached eggs? Any ideas what I did wrong?
ours were kind of hard-boiled in the center as well. i guess the difference is that we liked them that way. poached eggs are a lot softer; these are more like not-fried fried eggs.
