Sage and Ham Baked Eggs

Enjoy some oven baked eggs with sliced ham as its sidekick. An easy, quick breakfast to start your day off right.

Try a new kind of way to make a healthy egg breakfast.

I have to admit that I was hesitant to taste this finished product only because I had no desire to eat anything.
And the thought of eggs was anything but appealing. I like eggs. Most of the time it’s those fluffy scrambled eggs, or the hard-boiled eggs in the oven. But, I just wasn’t hungry. Sometimes I have those days, and maybe that’s a good thing.

I gave one to my son to try even though he kind of turned his nose up. “Mom, you are the best cook! This is really good! It tastes like stuffing!” Stuffing, really? You are a strange little man. You taste sage and anything associated with it reminds you of stuffing. Ok. “Really?” Ok, I guess I have to try it then. Of course, I have to try it, duh, I have to rate it. Silly me. I’m telling you that this is one of those dishes that pleasantly surprised me.

I know, Green Eggs and Ham and the theme of don’t knock it ’till you try it. Probably should have realized that when I first started doing this baking thing. Well, now I know. Even if the pictures don’t look visually appealing or, like today when I wasn’t hungry, I need to tell you all to make your kitchen lives easier.

I will definitely be adding this to my regular repertoire of breakfast recipes. WHY haven’t I ever made this before? It just never occurred to me to bake eggs. How ingenious!!

Try this Mexican corn chowder from dashofsanity. We all know New England clam chowder, and this one is on that same level of awesomeness. We all eat waffles. Usually, it’s for breakfast, but those big fans eat ’em at dinner too. This cornbread waffles recipe by barefeetinthekitchen is one of a kind!

We all need a breakfast that’s worthy of the weekend. And, we need bacon. My bake bacon recipe is ALL you need for a side, or if you need it in the recipe you’re making.

Don’t forget that coffee to wake you up. This homemade french vanilla coffee creamer is made for those relaxing weekends.

I rate everything I bake on a scale of 1-4 with 4 being the best and these Sage and Ham Baked Eggs earned 3 1/2  rolling pins. We were all hesitant to try it actually. It was around lunchtime, but none of us were really hungry and we certainly weren’t in the mood for eggs.
