Introduction to Baked Cheesy Eggs
You can’t go wrong with eggs for breakfast, but we know it can get boring from time to time. If that’s you today, then make this Baked Cheesy Eggs recipe to kick things up a couple notches and never feel bored of eggs again! We use three cheeses and a crispy pork rind topping to lure you in and dazzle your taste buds.
Perfect Oven Baked Eggs
Honestly, anything is perfect when it is nestled in between caramelized onions and three different cheeses. This recipe in particular has the extra perk of a crispy toppings and bakes up in under five minutes. You can adjust the time for a more over easy or over hard egg. I’m a personal fan of a perfectly cooked through egg white, a slightly runny yolk. It’s hard to achieve that every time when you’re cooking your eggs on a stove top. However, if you give your eggs a nice little cheesy nest and use the oven to cook them, you’ll always have the perfect oven baked eggs!
