Herb Baked Eggs
with toast / apple, sweet potato and kale salad
Baking eggs over a bed of garlic and herbs lets the classic flavors really shine. We like to keep the yolks slightly runny so we can dip toast in them.

Make
-
Heat oven to 400F (204C).
-
Brush the inside of 4 ramekins (for 4 servings; adjust if customizing) with some cooking oil and place them on a sheet pan. (Note: Each ramekin should hold 2 eggs. If you prefer, you can also use a well-greased muffin tin and cook each egg in its own space in the tin.)
-
Divide butter between ramekins and transfer sheet pan to heated oven. Bake until butter is melted, 3 to 4 minutes.
-
Remove pan from oven and sprinkle garlic / herb mixture over melted butter. Crack eggs over garlic and herbs. Season the top of eggs with some salt and pepper.
-
Return pan to oven and continue baking until egg whites are set and yolks are still slightly runny, 8 to 10 minutes.
-
While eggs bake, heat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add cooking oil and then sweet potato to heated oil with a pinch of salt. Saute until tender and golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes.
-
Whisk together balsamic vinegar, lemon juice and honey. Add olive oil while whisking. Toss kale, apples, sweet potatoes and almonds in dressing. Top the salad with some black pepper.
-
When eggs are nearly finished, add baguette slices to oven (place them on the sheet pan with eggs or directly on an oven rack) and cook until toasted.
-
Serve eggs with toast. Enjoy salad on the side!
