CREAMY BAKED EGGS
My husband loves eggs prepared in any way. This recipe is simple but special, and the eggs come out just as he likes them every time. If you like soft yolks, cook the eggs for 9 minutes; for firmer yolks, cook for about 11 minutes.-Macey Allen, Green Forest, Arkansas

CREAMY BAKED EGGS
This is part of our traditional Christmas morning breakfast, and is perfect for any brunch when you want to prepare dishes the day before. Of course, you can just assemble and cook, but it is the convenience of having the dish ready to bake, and eliminating the mess in the morning, (and the delicious taste!) which appeals most to me. I indicated that this serves 4, but it will serve 6 if you have other brunch items. The recipe can be doubled and baked in a 9x13 inch pan. I have used this recipe for at least twenty years after taking a Doris Simms cooking class in Ottawa.

Steps:
- Make sauce first. Can be made in the microwave if you wish.
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in saucepan and add the flour.
- Whisk together till smooth, and fry gently for a few minutes which will remove the raw taste of the flour. Do not brown the roux.
- Add the milk while whisking to avoid lumps, and cook the mixture till thickened. This will make a thin sauce.
- Off heat, add the grated cheese, and whisk till it melts.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Beat the eggs in a bowl to combine.
- Saute the green onion in 2 tablespoons butter to soften.
- Add beaten eggs and bacon.
- Fry-scramble, and remove from pan while they are still quite soft (nearly set), and combine with the sauce.
- Stir together, and place in a buttered 11x7 inch baking dish.
- Butter the bread.
- Whirl in a food processor to make buttered crumbs.
- Sprinkle on top of the sauced eggs.
- Can refrigerate, covered, overnight for baking the next morning.
- Bake, uncovered, at 350°F for 20 minutes, till set, and crumbs are toasted.
Tips for Making the Creamiest Baked Eggs
- Use fresh eggs. This will ensure that the eggs are flavorful and creamy, and they will also be less likely to curdle.
- Use high-quality cream. Heavy cream or half-and-half will give you the richest, most flavorful baked eggs. If you're using milk, be sure to use whole milk for the best results.
- Don't overcook the eggs. The ideal cooking time for baked eggs is about 15-20 minutes. Any longer than that and the eggs will start to become rubbery.
- Season the eggs well. Salt and pepper are essential, but you can also add other herbs and spices to taste. Some popular options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
- Serve the eggs immediately. Baked eggs are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven. If you need to make them ahead of time, you can store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, but they will lose some of their creaminess.
Conclusion
Creamy baked eggs are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover eggs. With a few simple tips, you can easily make the creamiest baked eggs that your family and friends will love.
