Please tell me you love eggs.
Please do.
Tell me you think they’re beautiful.
Tell me you can’t live without them.
Tell me you eat at least 2 on a regular day.
Tell me you don’t think I’m a crazy person, whose love for eggs is scaring you a little bit 🙂
I think my crazy love for eggs started when I looked at this.
(I do look a bit crazy. Maybe the photographer had an egg.)
It’s my mother’s fault. Eggs were the first solid food I ate.
And every time I eat an egg now, I travel back to the comforting warmth of my childhood.
Now usually I buy regular eggs. I have no idea where the chicken that laid the eggs was raised or how. Most people I know eat these eggs and have no problems, and they’ve always been good enough for me.
Then I discovered Keggs.
Keggs eggs.
These are “near-organic” eggs.
I really don’t know what that means. It says so on the box.
But I’m guessing it has something to do with the way these chickens were raised.
Good food + sunshine + open air = happy chicken = yummy eggs
Bad food + dirty cage = sad chicken = not so yummy eggs
(That’s all the math I’m doing for a year)
These eggs have tan shells and bright, yellow yolks.
They taste better too.
MUCH better.
I think it makes sense to use Keggs when you are eating the egg as the egg. So fried, poached, baked, scrambled…
However for baking a cake, or mixing into something else, I think regular eggs do just fine.
Today let’s do something decadent. One bite of this rich, creamy goodness and you will be in egg heaven. Yes you will 🙂
Creamy baked eggs
Inspired by: Mom
Prep time: 5 mins
Cook time: 15-20 mins
Serves: 1 very hungry person
Eat this with: Butter-garlic soldiers
Ingredients:
butter for greasing
2 eggs
salt and pepper to taste
4 tbsp full cream
4 tbsp grated cheese
2 slices buttered brown bread
minced garlic
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 180º C. Grease a small ovenproof bowl with butter.
- Crack an egg into it and season with salt and pepper. Add 2 tbsp cream over the egg, and sprinkle with 2 tbsp grated cheese.
- Over this, crack another egg and season again. Add the rest of the cream and cheese the same way.
- Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, depending on how runny you like your yolk. I like mine a bit runny.
- Cut each slice of bread into 3 pieces and top with some garlic. Toast in the oven and use to dip in your baked eggs.
NOTE: You could try this with one egg if you aren’t as ravenous as me 🙂

That sounds absolutely delicious. I may have to try it out tomorrow morning.
I love eggs but have never tried them this way – definitely going to try to whip this up!
when you do, lemme know how you like them 🙂
I’ve never had this kind of egg prep before…have got to try this out!
They’re my go-to food when craving for protein!
I love eggs- and including baked goods I’m sure I consumer far over 2 a day.
i know! me too!
Thanks for stopping by 🙂
I can’t live without eggs! No matter what is served, breakfast without eggs ain’t breakfast at all!
I know!so agree!
Does little kuhu like eggs?
I came across these eggs in my supermarket here in Bombay; perfect for making fresh tasting lemon tarts. The ones I found had a nice orangy thick yolk, which contributed to a nice rich shade of lemony yellow for the tarts.

Ok I just saw you use pretty much the same recipe I use for lemon tarts (one I came across in one of them Jamie Oliver shows). I guess you must have already tried them out then.
Haven’t tried the lemon tart with Keggs, Anand.
Now that you say it’s good, I must 🙂
YUM! I love eggs! And I definitely agree about where the eggs come from. We’ve had hens since I was a little girl, and I LOVED the eggs they would lay. The flavor is so much mor rich, and the color of the yoke more vibrant! Store-bought, regular-old-eggs are not so yummy…just kinda bleh. It’s like the difference between fresh fruit off the vine and fruit picked too early in the store!
So true Hannah!
