Bake for Bed

10/10 BAKED EGGS FOR BED

"spooning in a spoon"

Lazy. Only way to describe Sundays. No matter what else is going on in your world, Sundays always seem to slow down. Even when you have to go to work - I know right - there is always a moment to just be still. For me that usually involves snacking on a whole lot of random things like an excited thief raiding the pantry. But today time is going by so slowly, and I'm hung up on the thought of eggs.

Baked eggs, the ultimate slow breakfast (and by that I mean at 10:30, anything earlier is ungodly. Praise Madonna). Designed out of ease over aesthetic, to be eaten from the bowl with a fork and company - or a good movie...

Ingredients (all approximate) - 

2 Eggs (whisked with a splash of milk)
1/2 Onion (reduced)
1 Tomato (griddled)
Rosemary
Balsamic
Butter
Salt + Pepper


What I did - Oven preheated @ 200 degrees

Start by chopping the tomato into small pieces and the onion in to thin slices, then scald in a blisteringly hot fry pan. When they are softened and brown take them off the heat. Splash the balsamic vinegar over and throw in the salt and pepper, turn through the pan. Scissor a sprig of rosemary over the top. Then put the pan under a hot grill, the salt should help the onions and tomatoes reduce further as they cook through.

While the pan is grilling whisk the eggs and milk together until thoroughly combined, the egg mix should become pale and slightly thinner. Now all elements are ready to come together. Spread the grilled ingredients into the bottom of a small baking dish. Scatter a few nibs of butter around and pour the frothy eggs on. Being a little addicted to the heat parmesan gives, peel a few curls using an apple peeler and strew on top.

Blast in the oven for about 10 minutes, or until the eggs have puffed up. East straight out of the dish with a fork, preferably outdoors or in bed with company ;)
