Baked eggs with chives and feta is a simple yet delicious dish that is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even a light dinner. This recipe brings together creamy eggs, tangy feta cheese, and the fresh flavor of chives to create a delightful meal that is both satisfying and easy to prepare.
Instructions:
- Finely chop the shallots and chives. Crumble the feta cheese if it is not already in crumbles.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy whipping cream until well combined.
- Stir in the chopped shallots and chives. Mix thoroughly to ensure they’re evenly distributed.
- Season the mixture with salt and pepper according to your taste. Remember, feta cheese can be quite salty, so you may want to go lightly on the salt.
- Lightly grease a baking dish or individual ramekins with some butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
- Pour the egg mixture into the prepared baking dish or ramekins, and sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the top.
- Place the dish or ramekins in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Optionally, sprinkle a few more fresh chopped chives on top before serving for added color and flavor. Serve warm, and enjoy your delicious baked eggs with chives and feta!
Tips:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) before you start preparing the ingredients.
- Use a whisk to thoroughly combine the eggs and heavy whipping cream for a smooth and creamy texture.
- Finely chop the shallots and chives to ensure even distribution of flavors.
- Lightly grease your baking dish to prevent the eggs from sticking.
- Do not overbake the eggs; they should be just set but still slightly soft in the center when you take them out of the oven.
- Feel free to add other herbs or ingredients, such as spinach or tomatoes, to customize the dish to your liking.
Enjoy your perfectly baked eggs with chives and feta, a harmonious blend of flavors and textures that will surely become a favorite in your recipe collection. Serve with a side of fresh bread or a simple salad for a complete meal.
