Baked eggs with sausages: the perfect brunch

by Lorena

Spring is here (finally) and for me, that means more fun brunches and breakfasts. These baked eggs with sausages are a real champion’s breakfast. The sausage makes for a great replacement for bacon and goes amazing with the eggs and toasts. For Javi and me it was lunch and we really enjoyed it! We’re going to be making it again very soon.

I love baked eggs, and we certainly don’t eat them enough. They’re very easy to make and the result is incredible, almost like a poached egg. The French version of baked eggs is called oeufs cocotte and are usually served in individual cocotte pots, one per person. They also usually have cream at the bottom. In this case, I used a larger dish for 2 people, but either option is good. It also has cream at the bottom but I added some parmesan cheese to it… I can’t help myself! lol. I’m sure you will love it.

I love how the baked eggs with sausages pair up. It’s perfect for brunch because it’s heavier than breakfast but less intense than lunch. the sausage is really nice with the eggs, especially with that liquidy yolk that we all love. You want to use a nice quality sausage for this because you will be tasting it a lot in the dish. To garnish I used a mix of fresh thyme and oregano which helps to balance out the flavours, but it’s not 100% necessary. Other herbs that you could use include rosemary, chives and dill.
