Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup shredded chicken
  • 4 eggs eggs
  • 1 cup chunky salsa

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking Sheet

Method
 

  1. Preparation: Heat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly butter inside of ramekins. Evenly divide the shredded chicken between the four ramekins. Evenly divide 3/4 cup of salsa between the ramekins. Gently crack an egg in each ramekin (optional: add 1 tablespoon heavy cream over the egg to prevent the possibility of the egg drying out). Place ramekins in a baking dish. Pour tap hot water into the baking dish until it reaches halfway up the ramekins. Bake until the egg whites and yolk is just set, about 15-18 minutes. Remove from oven and spoon remaining salsa on top. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Storage: Leftover baked eggs can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  • Freezing: I recommend not freezing this dish as the texture of the eggs may change during thawing.
  • Pairing: Serve with toast or a side salad for a balanced meal.
  • Spice it up: Add jalapeƱos to the salsa for an extra kick.
  • Serving suggestion: Great for brunch gatherings or a hearty breakfast-for-dinner option.
