breakfast recipes – I Want To Cook

Eggs are pretty ubiquitous for breakfast and beyond. Surely you’ve had — and probably cooked — them as scrambled eggs, an omelet, and hard-boiled.

But there is myriad other ways to cook and prepare eggs. One you’ve perhaps never heard of are shirred eggs. And even if you have heard of them, you might have thought: “Wow, that sounds super special and difficult to make.” You’re correct about one of those things. Special, yes. Difficult, hardly.

So what are shirred eggs? Shirred eggs are simply baked eggs with a few other ingredients. To make them don’t have to whisk anything, nor do you even need to heat up a pan. If you can crack an egg into a dish, add some milk, cheese, and seasonings, then turn on an oven (even a toaster oven), you can make shirred eggs.

Really, I have nothing against oatmeal. I’ve been known to cook up a batch several times a week. Heck, I even regularly incorporate it into my homemade dog food.

But let’s be honest: Oatmeal can be boring. It can be mushy. It can be bland. Nutritious, yes. But something you look forward to come breakfast time? Probably not.

Baked oatmeal, however, changes the game. Baked oatmeal uses the same main ingredient as oatmeal — oats, of course — but has a totally different texture. Instead of being mushy like porridge, baked oatmeal has a delightful firmness to it.

The oats on top get golden and delicious, while the interior remains soft. And it can be tailored to your specific tastes with the addition of nuts, fruits, and spices. Here is my baked oatmeal recipe that will make breakfast anything but boring.
