Baked eggs and a half baked attitude ..

Hooley Dooley, it's July already.

Time is going so fast lately - seemingly more so now that I am currently on holidays at the moment - (somedays I LOVE being a teacher!!)

Unfortunately I don't have much to report, I have thought of blogging everyday since my last entry but life just got in the way. Somedays it has run right over the top of me!

I had made a long list of things that I wanted to achieve while on my break - disappointingly I have not ticked one thing off as yet, and the first week is almost over. I could make the excuse that I have been making the most of the break by resting and recharging.. but that wasn't on my list >:/ (note to self - put daily snoozle at top of next holiday list!)

I managed to fight off a virus that the rest of my family had for most of last term, I was fully expecting it to knock me down as soon as I started holidays. Well, it hasn't hit me like I expected it to, it has been on more of a slow burn - making me feel rather weary and lacklustre. I'm going to happily blame it for my lack of getting stuff done.

I have managed some small stuff.. I spontaneously put on a pot of pumpkin soup the other day.. was okay, not my best, but nice. Then last night, I intended to cook some eggs to accompany dinner, instead of pan frying I decided to bite the bullet and try out a "Baked Eggs" recipe that I had bookmarked ages ago. I was reasonably happy with the result! (No photos to show, wasn't feeling THAT enthusiastic last night..)

Here's the basic recipe I used last night...

Baked Eggs with Ham and Cheese


3-4 rashers of bacon, chopped
300ml cream
1 1/2 cups grated tasty cheese
5 eggs

1. Pre-heat oven to moderate temperature (180-200 degrees)
2. Lightly grease some ramekin dishes with butter.
3. Pour about 1.5cm cream in the base of each ramekin
4. Sprinkle chopped bacon on top of the cream, (split the bacon evenly between all ramekin dishes)
5. Crack the eggs over the bacon and then top with cheese.
6. Place ramekins on a baking tray and place in the oven.
7. Bake for ten minutes, less if you prefer a runny yolk.

That's it for now -
