My Sisters Holiday Brunch *Baked Egg Bowls*

Thursday, December 11, 2014

A few weeks ago, I went down South to visit my sister. Growing up, one thing that I always admired my sister for was her love for cooking and daring different recipes. Whenever she would visit my mom's house, she often came up with some fun things to snack on or make...and most of the time, the recipes would be something quick & easy...Like these delicious eggs in a bowl! 

These are SO quick & easy. Fool proof. Fancy "looking". And perfect for a holiday brunch add-on. Hope you enjoy this recipe! xoxx-

(serves 4-5)
What'ya NEED:

  • Left over hash browned potatoes (or make your own like we did using 1 large potato: Shred potatoes into a large bowl filled with cold water. Stir until water is cloudy, drain, and cover potatoes again with fresh cold water. Stir again to dissolve excess starch. Drain potatoes well, pat dry with paper towels, and squeeze out any excess moisture. In a pan, cook potatoes until a brown crust forms on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Continue to cook and stir until potatoes are browned all over, about 5 more minutes) OR Just buy the ready-made hash brown and cook it as package directed. 
  • 1 tsp butter (or olive oil/coconut oil)
  • 1 Tbsp jalapeno, seeded and finely diced
  • 1/2 cup sweet onion, diced
  • Half Avocado (peels & sliced into thin strips)
  • 1 cup of Dry spinach (chopped into tiny pieces)
  • Half large Tomato (chopped into small pieces)
  • 2 cloves of garlic, diced (we just used a garlic crusher)
  • 1/4 cup dairy-free or regular mozzarella cheese, shredded 
  • 2 eggs [for 1 serving] (we ended up using 8 eggs total since we were making it for 3 adults & 2 kids)
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • Seasoning salt to taste
  • Paprika (sprinkled in)
  • CorningWare Ramekin. Like these HERE.

What'ya Need To DO:
  • Preheat oven to 350° .  
  • Preheat a skillet/pan over medium high heat.
  • Melt butter in the skillet and add the onion and jalapeno. Cook 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften.
  • Add the garlic and cook another minute, stirring occasionally.
  • Spray the ramekin dishes with non-stick spray.  Divide the hash brown potatoes between the dishes.
  • Stir the onion, chili, garlic mixture into the dishes.
  • Throw in the chopped spinach.
  • Top with chopped tomatoes 
  • Top with cheese.
  • Crack two eggs into each ramekin.  Season with seasoning salt pepper, & paprika on top (go light on that SALT btw!)
  • Bake in the oven on the middle rack for 5 minutes.
  • Top with two slices of Avocado 
  • Broil on high for 5-6 minutes or until the eggs are set (DO NOT overcook as the eggs become too "dry")
  • Rest for 5 minutes before serving.










SO Delish! <3
