Baked Eggs

Delicious. Indeed :)

What could possibly be more beautiful than emerging from the kitchen without a spot of grease yet presenting the smartest looking breakfast ever :) Yep and that would have to be baked eggs. Whether it's for a circus troupe or just for two, it's equally effortless and nutritious to start the day!

Jen says it so well, (baked) eggs aren’t volatile, they won’t get drunk ... or embarrass you in public. Reliable. Special. Delicious.
