Baked Egg with Bacon, Asparagus, Tomato, and Extra Sharp Cheddar

Baked Egg with Bacon, Asparagus, Tomato, and Extra Sharp Cheddar

I was in the mood for a baked egg this morning for breakfast. I looked in the refrigerator and found a leftover piece of bacon from my kids’ breakfast, some extra sharp cheddar, and a bit of asparagus from last night’s dinner. I also threw in a few slices of grape tomatoes because I love them with eggs. I served this baked egg with a toast to dip into the yolk. It was a terrific breakfast that filled me up and made me smile. I love the combination of flavors and I have a feeling I will be making this again tomorrow morning.

  1. A superb breakfast Pam and it could even be used for lunch or dinner. Great way of using up anything leftover in the fridge, too. Eggs are so versatile!

  2. Have I ever told you that I love the way you think? You make the best egg recipes with your leftovers, Pam!

  3. Great breakfast! And you always make your food look so pretty. Good thing you don’t have a house full of hungry men hollering at you to put down the camera and feed them already!

  4. I love, love, love eggs. And we have an abundance of sharp, stinky cheese in our fridge leftover from an experiment. This would be perfect! Thank you!

  5. Save some for me, Pam! Breakfast is my very best favorite meal of the day and yours looks delicious!!! Thank you so much for sharing…

  6. Geez you may be using leftovers—a little of this and a little of that—but boy howdy it turns out to be rather elegant. In fact it would be a rather Ta Ta breakfast for guests with a really nice table setting and muffins in a cute basket, tulips or daffodils in a pitcher——speaking of pitchers—Mimosas in another pitcher.
