- 1 – 2 eggs for each bowl

You can make a lot of this (I often make a triple batch) to use with almost any meal. We enjoy it on all meats, in potatoes, rice, and beans; the possibilities are endless! If you make extra, store it in the fridge in a glass bowl with a lid. I’m not sure how long it will last, I’ve never kept it over 3 weeks since I use it a lot.
- 2 Tablespoons of butter – you can start with 1 Tbs and see if it works, but I prefer 2 Tbs
- 1/4 cup of chopped onions
- 2 cloves of chopped garlic
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Italian seasonings
- Fresh Rosemary and Thyme (you can use dry ingredients if you prefer)
Instructions for Seasoning Mix
- Melt the butter in a small cast-iron skillet or skillet of your choice
- Sauté the chopped onion until translucent
- Add the chopped garlic cloves and seasonings
- Heat just until the garlic and herbs release their aroma. You don’t want to cook them, just release the oils.
- Remove from heat and put the mixture into a glass bowl until ready to use.
Instructions For Egg Bowl Recipe
- Preheat your oven to 375 Degrees F
- Put a pat of butter in each of your bowls or ramekins.
- Place the bowls on a baking sheet and put them in the oven to let the butter melt.
- Once the butter has completely melted, remove the tray from the oven.
- Now, add the heavy cream to each bowl.
- My husband prefers his eggs extra dippable, so I add two tablespoons of heavy cream to his bowl. I use one tablespoon for my bowl since I don’t like mine as runny.
- Carefully crack one or two eggs into each bowl, depending on how filling you’d like them to be.
- Be gentle so that you Do Not break the yolks.
- I can only eat 1 egg, but my husband eats 2 eggs in his bowl
- Add the seasoning mix. I divide it evenly among the bowls, being careful not to break the yolks.
- Place the tray back into a 375°F oven for 5-7 minutes, depending on how dippable you like your eggs.
- Remember that the ramekins will hold heat after baking and the eggs will continue to cook.
- I pull them out at 4-5 minutes for that perfectly runny yolk.
- Never cook over 7 minutes. The eggs will become hard like hard-boiled eggs if you do.
- While the eggs bake, cook the bacon or sausage if you plan to have it.
- Once the backing time is up, slide the tray out and sprinkle your favorite cheese on top of everything, as much as you want.
- Immediately pop the bowls back in the oven under the broiler until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
- I add the toast to the tray so it browns under the broiler too, but you can use a toaster if you prefer.
- When everything is ready, pour yourself a cup of coffee, fix your plates, and dig in.
