egg recipe baked lottie murphy
I’ve always been random in the kitchen and perhaps in life but mainly in the kitchen. I love making something out of nothing and will always try to make the most out of what ingredients I have left at the end of a week. This is where the famous one-pot comes in handy, if I’m in a rush/impatient then the one pot stays on the hob and usually has a base of whatever veggies I’ve got left then quinoa, lentils or rice, lots of flavour from spices and herbs then either a big scoop of houmous, a sprinkle of nuts and seeds, a side of guacamole or eggs. When I’ve got a little longer I prefer to use the oven and baked eggs are my fave…
Baked eggs seem like more effort but are just as simple if not simpler than your scrambled, poached and boiled ones as there’s not really a snazzy technique to master. This recipe uses ingredients that most of us might find in our kitchens right now. Okay so if you’re not obsessed with mushrooms like me then maybe not but everyone’s got half a pack of spinach at the bottom of the fridge right?
This meal is currently one of my midweek faves and I’ll make a big batch of quinoa at the start of the week so the prep time is super quick. Also makes a yummy weekend brunch too with a side of pancakes because all brunches come with a side of pancakes right?
