Baked Eggs

When you fancy something a bit different to the usual boiled/poached/fried egg on toast, I recommend you try baked eggs! Simple to rustle up and very tasty; perfect for a Saturday or Sunday breakfast or brunch.

Serves 2


- Knob of butter

- 2 eggs

- 2 handfuls of grated cheese
- Nutmeg
- Salt and pepper
- Spinach, cooked and drained (cooked mushrooms would also work very nicely)

Here's how:

- Preheat the oven to 180C.
- Smear some butter in two ramekins. Layer in your spinach (and/or mushrooms) and a little grated nutmeg.

- Crack an egg over the top, followed by grated cheese, salt and pepper.
- Place your ramekins in a deep baking dish and fill the dish with enough water to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
- Bake in the oven for about 15 minutes or until the egg yolks are to your liking. 


Sit down and enjoy.
