National Egg Day: Baked Eggs Recipe

June 3, 2012 is National Egg Day! Aren't you Egg-cited? To celebrate, think outside the carton and make an egg dish that's a bit more egg-traordinary. Scrambled, fried, poached, omletts...those are for everyday. Today is special.  Here is a delicious, easy to prepare, and different egg dish to serve the family: Baked Eggs

Baked Eggs

Makes 3 servings

6 large eggs

6 tbsp low fat shredded cheese of choice

3 tbsp chopped chives

Salt

Pepper

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Take 3 10 oz casserole dishes, spray with a non-stick spray. Carefully crack two eggs in each dish. Sprinkle a tbsp of chives, salt & pepper on each dish. Put dishes in a large 13x9 baking pan. Pour hot water into the baking pan about 1" deep.

Place pan in oven, bake for 20 minutes. Add 2 tbsp shredded cheese on each casserole dish and place back in oven for 5 more minutes. Be very careful pulling the pan out, the water is hot and can splash out if you get all Speedy Gonzalez on it.

Serve warm with whole grain toast or a plate of fried hash-browns! Yum!
