"baked eggs" news and stories

You just got to see my discovery of chicken salad topped with an egg, but it doesn't stop there! My egg experiment continues with an egg baked on top of leftover vegetable pudding.

I kind of forgot about the breakfast for a few minutes too long, and had a bit of an overcooked egg, but man -- the meal was still delicious. Between this and the growing responses to my chicken salad post, I'm now convinced that egg is one of the reigning toppers of the food world -- one that might even challenge the delicious realm of cheese toppings ... or even bacon mania.

Maybe next time I throw an egg on a cupcake!

Eggs are one of the wonderful, edible creations that we can feast on. Sometimes they carefully nestle golden bulbs of creamy yolks waiting to explode. Other times, they're a wonderfully yellow folder squeezing together our favorite meats, cheeses, and vegetables. However, while we lovingly whip up many classic egg incarnations -- fried, poached, scrambled -- we very rarely take on the baked egg.

It just doesn't make sense. Even when we're presented with crisp, pita-wrapped options, the baked egg falls into the forgotten drawer of gourmet meals that might come out on special occasions, but rarely gets mentioned as a normal, eggilicious option.

Not anymore, or at least I hope. You can make a delicious baked egg, whether you want it moist and overflowing with yolk, or firm and Jello-jiggly, with absolutely minimal effort and cleanup. Read on...

There was a point in my life when I hated them. I am talking about eggs. There was neither rhyme nor reason to my stubborn refusal to eat them in any form.

But now, like Heidi Swansonof 101 Cookbooks, I adore eggs, and to be sure, I could eat them for every meal. Of course, it would get old after a while, because there are only so many ways to prepare eggs - scrambled, fried, poached, and an omelet, right?

Not so. Heidi has created a simple recipe of eggs baked in their own edible cups. The cups are made from pita bread inserted into a muffin tin. A single egg is cracked into each cup along with a tomato mixture. Because you could bake a dozen of these at one time, Baked Eggs would make for great breakfast or brunch entertaining.
