    While overnight breakfast casseroles are great, and there’s nothing like French Toast, I wanted something a little lighter that I could mostly prepare in advance for some overnight guests. Baked eggs were a perfect choice, full of flavor from the mushroom mixture, but not dried out like some egg dishes can be.  I prepared the mushrooms the day before and then just assembled them in the morning.

    How to make baked eggs in the oven

    Step 1: Sauté some shallots and then add a mixture of mushrooms and cook until tender. Place in the bottom of ramekins or a muffin tin and add cheese and any other additions you like.

    Step 2: Beat the eggs and milk and pour over the mushrooms and cheese.

    Step 3: Bake for about 20 minutes until they have puffed up but are still slightly jiggly in the middle. 

         How do you know when baked eggs are done

    Sometimes when making an egg casserole it’s hard to tell when the eggs are done. I check to see if they are jiggly, they should have just a little jiggle in the center. You can also insert a thin knife between the center and the edge. If done, the custard should not cling to the knife.

    I was able to sit and enjoy a cup of tea with our guests while they baked. Everyone had their own ramekin so they could adjust it based on what fillings they liked. I kept these vegetarian the first couple of times, but threw in a little sausage this last time.  The egg mixture is almost like custard.  To keep them from being dry, take them out when the center is still just a little soft but the edges are firm. They stay hot in the ramekins for a good 20-30 minutes.  I served them with Spicy Apple Muffins.

    If you’re feeling a little unhealthy after yesterday’s feast, these are a nice way to start your day.
