BAKED EGGS WITH ONIONS AND CHEESE



Baked Eggs With Onions and Cheese image

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.

CHEESY BAKED ONIONS



Cheesy Baked Onions image

I FOUND this recipe in the newspaper many years ago. It has been a family favorite ever since. Since it goes well with any meat, it's a good "dish to pass" for family gatherings or potluck suppers. Someone will always ask "Who brought the onions?" -Louise Elliott, Gallipolis, Ohio

  • 3. Cook the bacon in a small skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with a paper towel to drain, then crumble. Add the onions to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the spinach and nutmeg and cook, stirring occasionally, until warmed through, about 1 minute.

Broil until the whites are set but still jiggle a little and the tops start to brown, about 2 minutes longer. Serve with the buttered toast.

EGGPLANT, ONION AND CHEESE BAKE



Eggplant, Onion and Cheese Bake image

Had a couple of eggplant but wasn't sure what to do with them. Here's what I ended up with and it was pretty darn tasty! Eggplant absorbs a lot of oil so make sure your pan and oil are very hot so that they fry up quickly. Cooking time does not include sitting time for the eggplant.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 2h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 eggplants
salt
olive oil
2 onions, sliced thin
salt
fresh ground black pepper
3/4 cup cheddar cheese, grated
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon breadcrumbs (optional)

Steps:

  • Slice the eggplant and layer in a colander, sprinkling each layer with salt. Set aside for 30-60 minutes.
  • Rinse the eggplant slices under cold running water, then pat dry. This is very important as you don't want them to splatter when they hit the oil.
  • Heat 3-4 Tablespoons oil in a frying pan and fry the eggplant slices, a few at a time, for 1-2 minutes each side. Drain on paper towels. You may need to add more oil to the pan for each batch that you fry.
  • Preheat the oven to 180C/350°F.
  • When you are done frying all the eggplant, add some more oil to the pan and fry the onions until soft, about 5 minutes.
  • Arrange the eggplant slices and onions in layers in a greased oven-proof dish, seasoning each layer with salt and pepper.
  • Sprinkle with the cheese, parsley and the breadcrumbs, if using.
  • Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and continue to bake an additional 20 minutes.
  • Let sit 5-10 minutes prior to serving.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make all the difference in the flavor of your dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you put too many eggs in the pan, they won't cook evenly.
  • Cook the eggs slowly over low heat. This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
  • Use a variety of toppings. This will add flavor and visual appeal to your dish.
  • Serve the eggs immediately. They are best when they are hot out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Baked eggs with onions and cheese is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast, lunch, or dinner recipe. It is a great way to use up leftover eggs and vegetables, and it is also a good source of protein and calcium. The possibilities are endless when it comes to toppings, so you can customize this dish to your liking. With a little planning, you can have a delicious and nutritious meal on the table in no time.
