Asparagus & Goat Cheese Baked Eggs

Asparagus & goat cheese baked eggs in a casserole for one. My asparagus & goat cheese baked eggs is one of my many versions of beaten eggs baked in a dish with a variety of ingredients. Stuffed with asparagus, mushrooms, bacon, with tangy but delicate crumbled cheese, it’s like eating breakfast at an upscale cafe.

Feel free to multiply this for as many as you’d like to feed. I recommend pouring each serving into 4-5 inch ramekins and setting up a bain-marie, instead of baking all of it in one pan.

INGREDIENTS

4 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup whipping cream
(milk may make this watery. I used whipped unsweetened coconut milk)
60 grams steamed asparagus
2 slices bacon
25-35 grams mushrooms, diced (about 2-4 mushrooms)
45 grams crumbled goat cheese, divided (or feta is good)
Salt/pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Dice/fry bacon, onion, and mushrooms

Put the bacon and veggies into a small greased baking dish (I use the grease from the bacon). The dish I use is a 4 x 6 inch glass one that’s oven-safe. 

Sprinkle half the cheese cheese over the bacon and veggies.

Pour eggs over the top, sprinkle with remaining cheese.

Follow preferred cooking directions below.

Makes one serving.

OVEN DIRECTIONS:

Bake for 30 minutes in an oven-safe glass casserole dish covered tightly with foil.

Uncover, bake 5-10 mins more to brown the cheese.

To make multiple servings, multiply the recipe times however many people you are going to feed. Scatter the cooked bacon, cheese, and veggies in the bottoms of 4-6 inch individual oven-safe glass dishes or ramekins, and pour the egg mixture over each. Then place onto a baking pan with rimmed edges, place in the oven, and pour boiling water into the baking pan to surround each dish about half-way up the sides.

MICROWAVE DIRECTIONS

I was in a hurry one day but was craving this, so I made it in the microwave. It was just as delicious as the other one, just less fluffy and more firm.

I placed a Dixie paper plate over the top of an microwave-safe glass dish, and cooked it on HIGH 60 seconds about 4-5 times, checking in between. Turned out gorgeous.

Microwave version is just as good!

It’s so fluffy!

Isn’t it so cute and teeny? AAA battery for scale.
