Baked eggs with chives and feta

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.

Ingredients:

6 eggs
300g
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
120g
2 tbsp feta cheese
30g
2 shallots
100g
1/3 cup chives
13g
salt & pepper to taste

Instructions:

2. Prepare Ingredients:
- Finely chop the shallots and chives. Crumble the feta cheese if it is not already in crumbles.
3. Mix Eggs and Cream:
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy whipping cream until well combined.
4. Add Shallots and Chives:
- Stir in the chopped shallots and chives. Mix thoroughly to ensure they’re evenly distributed.
5. Season:
- 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.
6. Prepare Baking Dish:
- Lightly grease a baking dish or individual ramekins with some butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
7. Add Feta Cheese:
- Pour the egg mixture into the prepared baking dish or ramekins, and sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the top.
8. Bake:
- 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.
9. Serve:
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
10. Garnish and Enjoy:
- 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.
