    Try this easy 15 minutes Italian Baked Eggs which can be served fro breakfast, brunch or light lunch. Serve it with a toast and coffee/tea on the side. Here is how to make it.

    Eggs are a must at my home, and thus here are some more of my tried and tested egg recipes that you will love – Egg White Oatmeal, Instant Pot Poached Eggs, Egg White Muffins, Egg Foo Young, Scrambled Egg Whites and Egg Roll in a Bowl.

    Italian Baked Eggs are a complete breakfast, and don't take much time to bake. Since many of us eat eggs as a staple breakfast option, these baked eggs are a perfect alternative to scrambled or boiled that we are often used to.

    About This Recipe

    Eggs are baked on bed of marinara sauce with cheese, salt, black pepper and basil leaves to make these delicious Italian Baked Eggs. They are quite unique from the regular breakfast recipes and comes together in under 15 minutes.

    It is prepared in small ramekins for individual servings, but you can make it in a bigger baking dish as well.

    Serve it for breakfast with a toast or for a light brunch or lunch with a refreshing salad on the side during the weekdays.

    Ingredients

    Eggs – Use any eggs that are regularly used at home – white, brown or organic.

    Marinara Sauce – You can make marinara sauce at home or use a store bought one. I prefer to use my homemade marinara sauce, as it is fresh, prepared with high quality ingredients and is free of preservatives.

    Cheese – I have used a combination of cheddar and parmesan cheese to make it extra cheesy. You can even use processed cheese, if the above two are not easily available.

    Basil Leaves – Adds a refreshing flavour with a pop of green.

    Salt & Pepper – Adjust according to your taste!

    Serving Suggestions

    Serve Italian Baked Eggs with a side of crisp toast or a crusty baguette. You can also serve a refreshing salad on the side for brunch or light lunch.

    Storing Suggestions

    Make it fresh, as it hardly takes 15 minutes of your time. I do not recommend to store it, as cooked eggs does not taste great after some time.

      Just made this for breakfast today with baked beans instead of Marinara sauce, and paneer instead of parmesan and cheddar. Absolutely delicious! And so easy to put together!
