White Cheddar and Dijon Baked Eggs
Fast and easy brunch, lunch, or breakfast-for-dinners are lifesavers. So few ingredients and so simple, but full of flavor. Dijon mustard and tangy white cheddar really jazz up eggs, or try your favorite mustard and cheese. I used two small ramekins but if you don’t have something similar, try an 8×4-inch loaf pan. In my oven and with my ramekins, baking for 10 minutes results in very runny yolks, 15 minutes results in firmer and set yolks, and 18 minutes results in yolks you’d find in a hard-boiled egg. Bake until your eggs are done to your liking. All ovens, ramekins, type of cheese used, and preferences vary, and so will baking times. Serve with a toast or salad for lunch or brinner, or with French toast or pancakes for breakfast. Cozy, comforting, and almost no dishes.
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- salt and pepper to taste
- half of one small/medium tomato diced small (I used half of an unpeeled Roma)
- about 1/2 heaping cup grated white cheddar cheese measured piled loosely (or mozzarella, Fontina, Monterey Jack, pepper Jack, etc.)
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard or your favorite yellow, hot, spicy, etc. mustard
- parsley optional for garnishing (or basil, thyme, etc.)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Spray 2 small ramekins with cooking spray or lightly grease them with butter. If you don’t have small ramekins, use an 8×4-inch loaf pan.
- Carefully crack 2 eggs into each ramekin, taking care not to break the yolks.
- Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Evenly and lightly sprinkle the diced tomatoes between the two ramekins; set aside.
- In a small bowl, add the cheese, mustard, and lightly toss to combine with a fork.
- Evenly divide cheese mixture between the two ramekins, lightly smoothing the top of each with the fork.
- Place ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until eggs are cooked to desired level. In my oven and with my ramekins, 10 minutes results in very runny yolks, 15 minutes results in firmer and set yolks, and 18 minutes results in yolks you’d find in a hard-boiled egg. Bake until your eggs are done to your liking. All ovens, ramekins, type of cheese used, and preferences vary, and so will baking times.
- Garnish and serve immediately. Eggs are best served warm and fresh.
