Easy Baked Egg Recipes

Looking to bake outside the box? Grab a carton of eggs, check out these recipe tips and ideas, and start baking some delicious egg dishes. These baked meals are so versatile they can be prepared for almost any occasion. So don't limit your baking to pies and cakes; start baking with eggs as your star ingredient.

The Great Baked Egg

As the baker in your own home patisserie, you have endless options when it comes to baking eggs. Typically, you will need to have the following basic bakery supplies on hand: milk, flour, butter or oil, cheese, pans or muffin tins, and--of course--eggs.

These make the perfect brunch or appetizer treat, and they're far healthier than any pastry. Simply crack one egg into each slot of a muffin pan, and add a dash of hot sauce and cheese for extra flavor. Bake in a 350-degree oven for 15 minutes, and you have a bakery brunch.

Crustless Quiche

Saute your favorite meats or vegetables, and place them in a pie pan. Whisk together four eggs, two tablespoons of flour, and a cup of milk; pour into the pan. Top it all with cheese, and bake a patisserie favorite with half the fat of quiche with crust.

Egg and Cheese Croissant

Always a hit at the bakery, croissant sandwiches are easy for even a beginning baker. Place a scrambled egg in a croissant and top it with cheese and ham. Baking it is simple--just wrap the sandwich and foil and place it in a hot oven for 10-15 minutes.

The Healthy Baker

Eggs afford the hobbyist or professional chef endless opportunity for creating healthy, savory, and economical dishes. But as anyone who ever ruined a batch of egg whites knows, eggs have some peculiar chemical characteristics. Career chefs know how to use eggs' properties for trapping air, binding other ingredients, and as thickening agents to make more complicated, diverse, and delicious dishes. Culinary schools offer this know-how to pros and amateurs alike.
