Baked eggs with smoked meat are served hot in individual dishes, with the yolks cooked to your liking. At the Easter table, the slices of smoked meat hold the eggs in place, and green onion gives them a fresh finish. I keep an eye on the yolks and like them soft, with the centers still runny. Prep: 10 minutes. Cook: 15 minutes. Total time: 25 minutes. Serves: 4. Approximately 270 kcal and 16 g protein per serving.

Ingredients

  • 4 eggs
  • 200 g homemade smoked meat
  • 10 g butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 10 g green onion tops

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease 4 individual ceramic dishes with 10 g butter. 2. Cut 200 g smoked meat into thin slices and arrange 4 in each dish. 3. Crack an egg into each dish and sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon salt over all four. 4. Bake for 15 minutes, until the whites are set and the eggs are firmer. Chop the green onion tops and sprinkle them over the eggs as you take them out of the oven.

Notes

Homemade smoked meat can vary in saltiness; if it’s very salty, use just a pinch of salt. You can put 5-6 slices in each dish for a fuller layer, if the egg still fits. Wide, shallow dishes cook the egg faster than narrow, deep ones, so keep an eye on it toward the end. I prefer the yolk runny; next time I’ll make them with some broth. Serve with toast or green salad. The dish contains egg and butter, and leftovers keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Frequently asked questions

Why did the yolk get firm?

For a softer center, try 10-12 minutes at 180°C and check the white toward the end.

Can I replace homemade smoked meat with bacon?

Yes, put about 25 g thinly sliced bacon in each dish and taste it before adding the salt.

How do I keep the egg from sticking to the dish?

Grease the sides well, not just the bottom; you can use about 2-3 g butter for each dish.

Can I put the green onion under the egg too?

Yes, add a tablespoon of chopped green onion over the smoked meat before cracking the egg into the dish.
