Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- ½ cup chopped vegetables
- ½ cup cooked protein
- ½ cup shredded cheese
Supporting Ingredients:
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon butter
Seasoning and Garnish:
- Salt
- Pepper
- Fresh herbs
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F, ensuring the rack is positioned in the center for even heat distribution.
- Generously coat a 9×13 inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of butter, making sure every inch is well-greased to prevent sticking.
- Whisk ¼ cup heavy cream with salt and pepper in a medium bowl until smoothly combined.
- Gently crack 4 large eggs directly into the buttered baking dish, spacing them evenly with about 2 inches between each egg.
- Sprinkle ½ cup of your chosen vegetables and protein over the eggs, distributing them carefully around each egg.
- Scatter ½ cup shredded cheese across the top of the dish, ensuring even coverage.
- Pour the seasoned cream mixture gently over the eggs and toppings, allowing it to flow between the ingredients.
- Slide the baking dish into the preheated 375°F oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, watching until the egg whites are set but yolks remain soft.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 2 minutes to allow slight cooling and settling.
- Garnish with fresh chopped herbs and serve immediately while hot and bubbling.
Notes
- Ceramic or glass dishes work best for even heat distribution and preventing egg sticking.
- Grease your baking dish thoroughly with butter or cooking spray to ensure easy egg removal.
- Whisk eggs until they’re smooth and well-combined for a consistent texture throughout the dish.
- Experiment with different herbs, cheeses, and vegetables to customize the flavor and make the recipe uniquely yours.
