Breakfast: Baked Eggs with Herbs and Cherry Tomatoes

Tired of eating scrambled or fried eggs? Try baked eggs!

How do you want your eggs, scrambled or fried? I want them baked!

We always have eggs for breakfast but having scrambled or fried eggs all the time can be boring. So why not bake it?

Here’s a simple baked eggs recipe. What’s great about this recipe it is already a meal in itself. You’ve got your protein and carbs (from veggies or when served with toasts).
You can also be creative in the fillings. Just throw in what you’ve got in your fridge!

Recipe follows after the images below. Pardon the out-of-focus pics. My camera was on a mount and I didn’t know the focusing was not properly set.

Brush with olive oil or butter

Brush the ramekins or muffin tins with olive oil or butter. This helps prevent the everything from sticking.

Line the bottoms and sides with bacon

Fill up spaces as much as you can

To keep this dish on the healthy side, use lean bacon, back bacon or turkey bacon.

To scramble or not to scramble?

It’s up to you if you want the eggs scrambled or not. Either way, it will come out great.

Add herbs for flavor

Add your favorite herbs. I suggest basil since it goes really well with tomatoes. Unfortunately, I’m still out of basil so I put oregano and thyme.

Add as much cherry tomatoes as you want

Regular tomatoes are fine if you don’t have cherry tomatoes. Just chop them up to fit in the ramekins.
