Bake herbed eggs

May 27, 2008 By: User ImageGay Category: Food 5 Comments →

I got the inspiration for this baked herbed eggs from Ina Garten’s show The Barefoot Contessa. I knew I just have to try this for myself. My family’s a big breakfast fan especially on Sundays so I thought this would be perfect.

This is best served individually, such as in ramekins. As I didn’t have them at home, I used a square glass pan to bake the eggs with. It was such a big hit at home that the next week my sister bought me ramekins.

Baked Herbed Eggs

Pour about 2 tbsp milk into ramekin pans. Bake at 300oF for 8-10 minutes. Remove ramekins from oven, pour an egg on each ramekin. Add chopped garlic and herbs of your choice (I used dried thyme and tarragon, fresh herbs would be good too). Sprinkle with salt to taste. Put back into the oven and bake till set (another 8-10 minutes). Serve with garlic bread. Or as we like to do, serve with fried rice.

A food-related periodic table

May 25, 2008 By: User ImageGay Category: Food 3 Comments →

Miss you chemistry class? Thinking about the periodic table of the elements? Well, here is something probably more useful for you right now - a periodic table of condiments that will tell when you condiments -fish sauce, Tabasco, cheeses, etc…- will expire. I stumbled upon this site The Table of Condiments that Periodically Go Bad. An example is Nutella, which they say expires four months after opening. Do you really think it could last that long? More like a few days :)

Do you find the site useful?
