Make-Ahead-Baked-Eggs-with-Bacon-Mushrooms-&-Sage-Recipe-Cookin-Canuck

Christmas is just over a week away and I am in denial about my state of panic. Presents to buy, holiday meals to plan, house to clean, Christmas tree to decorate…breathe….breathe. One thing I can count on is that I will be making The Pioneer Woman’s Maple-Glazed Cinnamon Rolls for Christmas morning, as we do every year. Considering that they are artery-clogging fare (at its absolute best), I will be offering a couple of healthier options, such as my Healthy Yogurt Breakfast Parfait, plenty of fresh fruit and these baked eggs with bacon, mushrooms and sage. The beauty of these individual casseroles is that the majority of the prep can be done the night before. The ramekins are popped into the oven 20 minutes before serving time.

Despite the growing “to-do” list, we are managing to slow down long enough to absorb those magical moments of the holidays. Last night we took the boys to see Santa. With their carefully handwritten wish lists clutched in their hands, they sat upon the red-clad lap, looked shyly into Santa’s eyes and talked to him about Nerf guns and Hexbugs. They also promised they were going to listen to their mum and dad everyday. Uh-huh.

Afterwards we meandered through the nearby chocolate store, loading up on butterscotch lollipops and chocolate-covered caramels. The ride home was filled with Christmas carols, though we did have to endure a couple of verses of “Jingle Bells, Batman smells…” You know the one. It was an evening where we could step back from the holiday chaos for a couple of hours and enjoy each other’s company. That’s really what it’s all about. That’s the good stuff.

The recipe:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees (unless you are baking these the next day – see directions below.)

Place bacon in a large skillet and cook until browned and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel to drain. Crumble bacon.

BakedEggsBacon1

Heat olive oil in a large skillet set over medium heat. Add mushrooms and black pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes. Add chopped sage and cook until mushrooms are tender, an additional 3 to 4 minutes. Add crumbled bacon. Taste and season with salt, to taste.

Coat four 6-ounce ramekins with nonstick cooking spray or grease with butter. Divide the mushroom mixture between the ramekins.

BakedEggsBacon4

In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, egg whites and water. Divide the mixture between the ramekins, pouring over the mushroom mixture.

BakedEggsBacon5

Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and place in the oven. Cook until the eggs are set, about 20 minutes. A few minutes before the cooking is done, sprinkle the eggs with Parmesan and place back into the oven.

Remove from the oven, transfer the ramekins to plates (make sure they don’t slide around) and serve immediately.

BakedEggsBacon6

Make-ahead: The night before, you can make the mushroom, sage and bacon mixture and prepare the egg mixture. Place the mushroom mixture in the prepared ramekins. Cover and chill the ramekins and the egg mixture. In the morning, pour the egg mixture over the mushrooms and bake as directed.

    Hi – could these be made in a muffin pan? I don’t have any ramekins & also I’m wondering how these would freeze? I’d like to make some up for dinners ( I work 3rd shift) and need something easy to take to work and heat up.

    I’m going to share this on my blog after I make it and I’ll share a link to your blog.

    Thanks! Tina

    I make it but why this is hard to remove them to other plate, that was stuck in my cup. Is that anything wrong with my cup? Or I do mistake.
