This recipe comes from a Bed & Breakfast place we stayed at years ago. As with the
cheesejacks, they are incredibly popular in this house. They're very easy to make in addition to being nutritious and delicious, which makes them an excellent choice for a quick snack any time of day. The nice thing is you can make as many or as few as you wish.
Spicy Egg Cups
Open an egg into a custard cup.
Add a little salsa.
Grate some cheese on top.
Sprinkle on a little parsley or basil, or both.
Pour a bit of olive oil over the whole thing.
Bake at 350º F. for 20 minutes or until set.

Brilliant. I am going to the oven to try this right now! I have been meaning to make these, but kept forgetting to look up the time it needed in the oven:)). Love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping in, Janelle! I've just made a very quick visit to your tomatoes blog, and will return when I have a bit more time.
ReplyDeleteKarin, that's right, all for you!! Tom has two packed for his lunch tomorrow. :<) How come no one but you eats eggs??
ReplyDeleteThis recipe looks good and easy. It's a must try for me. I've already copied it down.
ReplyDeleteJane Marie, you'll love it!
ReplyDeleteI make something similiar, but put a slice of black forest ham in the cup first as a liner, and I put a dollop of cream instead of the olive oil. And no salsa.
ReplyDeleteServe on a toasted English muffin. I save this for company breakfasts, or Christmas morning, but it is easy enough for anytime.
Great picture.
Raidergirl - I hope people reader your comment since you offer a meat eater's version!
ReplyDeleteOh thank you, Nan. This sounds just wonderful!!! I would love to try it. I just have to get some custard cups.
ReplyDeleteOh, I know what I'm having for lunch! :)
ReplyDelete(P.S. Ironically the word verification for this is "cater"! Gotta love it!)
Kay, once you get cups you can make custard and chocolate mousse in them, too! :<)
ReplyDeleteColleen, 'cater' is so funny. They really are delightful. Hope you like the egg cups.
