Cheat Eggs....

Baked Eggs! 

As seen in many cafes baked eggs are a perfect balance of tasty and decedent. 
You can use any kind of pan to bake them in, as long as its oven safe and easy to eat out of, at my old work we even managed to cook them in muffin cases and pop them out on the plate. 
The flavour combinations are endless, you can go all out vegetarian and pop in your favourite antipasto's like grilled capsicum and eggplant, or try an omnivore approach by adding some bacon and cheese as well. 

Baked eggs is one of those classic recipes that will keep evolving because it can be changed it to suit your mood and the seasonal produce available. A great step in building some confidence in the kitchen, as its a hard one to stuff up.

Simply crack two eggs into a greased non stick ceramic pot, or muffin case and top it off with your favourite fillings. The one i've done above has prosciutto. parsley, cheese, grilled eggplant, chives and crunchy golden sourdough croutons-to save me having to make toast. After you've assembled your personalised eggs add a touch of seasoning a splash of decent olive oil and pop it in an oven of 180 degrees for 8-12 minutes- depending on if you like your yolks runny or stiff. 
When its cooked and crispy on the edges serve it with a glossy salad of rocket and tomatoes. 

Magnifique!
