BAKED EGGS WITH ONIONS AND CHEESE
Eggs can be baked on a bed of almost anything -- cooked spinach and sliced tomatoes come to mind immediately -- but the trick in every case is to avoid overcooking. The consistency of baked eggs should be like that of fried eggs, with a barely cooked white and a soft, runny yolk.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Put butter or oil in large, ovenproof skillet, and set over medium-high heat. Add onions and a liberal sprinkling of salt and pepper, cover skillet and turn heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are very soft and tender but not browned, for about 15 minutes.
- Combine bread crumbs and cheeses, and sprinkle half of this mixture over onions. Use back of spoon to make 8 little nests in the mixture, and crack 1 egg into each. Season with salt and pepper, and distribute remaining bread crumbs and cheese mixture over top.
- Bake for 5 minutes, or until eggs are barely set. Turn on broiler, and run skillet under it to brown top for a minute or so, being careful not to overcook the eggs. Serve hot or at room temperature.

[email protected]I love how easy these baked eggs are to make. They're a great way to use up leftover veggies and cheese. I've made them with spinach, mushrooms, and even diced tomatoes. They always turn out delicious.

[email protected]These baked eggs were a breeze to make and turned out perfectly! I used a cast iron skillet, which gave them a nice crispy bottom. The onions and cheese melted together beautifully, creating a flavorful and satisfying dish. I'll definitely be making
