Enchilada baked eggs - just 5 ingredients and 15 minutes in the oven for a healthy, tasty breakfast!

All hail baked eggs!

They’re stupidly quick and easy to make, and you can dress them up however you fancy. Veggies, cheese, sauces… you can even make them taste like enchiladas.

All these enchilada baked eggs need is a spoonful of salsa or enchilada sauce, a spoonful of refried beans, a little sprinkling of cheese… and an egg, of course. Top them with a bit of fresh coriander and you’re good to go. Make sure you dig right to the bottom to get to the good bits!

Since these enchilada baked eggs are super simple (I’m allllll foooor the 5 ingredient recipes these days), make sure you use good quality ingredients. You need nice fresh eggs, a good quality salsa (I’d recommend using one with a good amount of heat!), and your favourite refried beans. I use these ones, and although they look a bit like cat food, they are the bomb. You know how people always say that it’s a struggle not to eat a whole jar of Nutella with a spoon? I’m like that with these refried beans. My favourite.

Baked eggs can be a bit of an art form. In the past, I’ve ended up with either hard yolks or runny whites – it’s sometimes hard to get a happy medium. I find that adding a little bit of cheese on top really helps. Maybe it keeps the heat in to cook the whites properly? Maybe it protects the yolk from overcooking? I have no idea, I’m no food scientist. Whatever the reason, fifteen minutes seems to be a good length of time for baking (though remember that all ovens vary, so just keep an eye on them).

Of course, if you’d rather play it safe, you can cook them for longer, until the yolk is hard – but I find a runny yolk irresistible!

  1. This is a tasty variation on Alpine eggs – thanks! Chopped up the veg for slow cooker enchiladas and while they were cooking, snuffled some of the refried beans and sauce for this for lunch. Love the enchiladas recipe so much, so this was a great taster of what was to come!5 stars
