How many of you enjoy eating breakfast? I know for me, it’s not one of my favorite meals of the day, but I’ve really been working hard to have a good breakfast every morning during the weekends (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) mornings.
One of the reasons that I’m not a big fan of breakfast is the simple fact that I typically get up between 5:30 and 6:00 AM during the weekday mornings. I mean really, who wants to cook and eat a big breakfast that early in the day? On top of that, I get tired of eating the same old, same old things!
Well, if that sounds like you…check out this guest post recipe from Terra’s Kitchen. I have never heard of Greek Baked Eggs before but I do have to admit, this looks good to me, minus the olives! Sorry, not a fan of olives at all.
To shake things up, Terra’s Kitchen is sharing their recipe for Greek Baked Eggs, bound to make your brunch guests dying for more.
Greek Baked Eggs Recipe
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon heavy cream
5 large eggs
5 Kalamata olives, pitted and roughly chopped
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon finely chopped fresh oregano
1/2 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Toasted bread, for dipping and sopping
Preheat oven to broil.
Place the oven rack on the first shelf. Add the butter and cream to the bottom of a shallow baking dish (I like to use a stoneware braising pan). Place under the broiler until the butter and cream mixture is hot and bubbly (about 3 to 4 minutes). Break the eggs (keeping the yolks intact) into individual bowls and set aside. In a small bowl, stir together the olives, garlic and chopped herbs. Set aside.
Once the butter and cream mixture is hot and bubbly, remove from the oven and carefully pour the five eggs into the dish (work quickly). Sprinkle the tops of the eggs with the olive herb mixture and top with the crumbled feta cheese. Liberally sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the pan back under the broiler and cook until the egg whites are nearly cooked through (approximately 4 to 5 minutes). Remove from the oven and allow to set for 1 minute before serving. Serve hot with toast for dipping.
I am embracing the idea of eating more eggs and less carbs so I’m interested in these types of recipes. I’m not a fan of cheese though, and dairy in general, so I’ll take the olives and find a cheese substitute. I have several dozen eggs in the frog now so I should make this. I’m a brunch, not a breakfast person, but eggs are good to eat any time!
This is the first time I have heard of this recipe and I love it. I want to try this recipe for eggs soon.
I’m not like you, I adore breakfast and I adore breakfast food – I’ll eat it any time of day or night. This is beautiful and I will try it!
Well, this is different & it sounds & looks great, too. I’d love to try this!
This looks so flavorful and delicious! I’ve never tried eggs like this before. I love the ingredients you used.
Now this looks and sounds good. I like the idea of broiling the eggs it is interesting. I also llike that it would be creamy, and flavorful. Feta cheese in anything has my vote! I might try this on the weekend. I normally dont cook a big breakfast either.
