Baked eggs with bacon: a classic revisited with the Cookeo
At the top, baked eggs… that simple little pleasure that hits the spot every time. I must admit I fell in love with the bacon version, that smoky taste that lifts everything, a real delight overall. And with the Cookeo, it has become child’s play!
I often try to hurry in the morning, so if I can start cooking and not stay stuck in the kitchen, I’m all in. The Cookeo is really an ally in this kind of quick and tasty recipe.
You’ll see, this dish is both indulgent, simple, and adaptable. I put my little personal touch every time depending on what I have on hand, but bacon is sacred. You’ll find it super tender and crispy just right.
Honestly, if you’ve never tried baked eggs with the Cookeo, now is the time. It’s a change from the traditional pan, and it saves you a ton of time. Come on, shall we get started?
Ingredients to succeed with your baked eggs with bacon in the Cookeo
Before getting lost in the details, here’s what you need for about 2 people. I often make it for two and keep the leftovers for a little snack.
- 4 fresh eggs (you can choose organic, it makes a difference)
- 100 g bacon in slices or lardons, depending on what you prefer
- 20 cl thick fresh cream (sometimes I replace with light cream, that works too)
- Salt and pepper, obviously
- A few chives sprigs for a fresh touch (I always add some, it balances the bacon’s fat)
- Optional: a bit of grated cheese, I’m a sucker for Gruyère, but do as you like
Instructions: how to prepare your baked eggs with bacon with your Cookeo
Now, this is the moment where I tell you it’s going to be quick, but not rushed. We’ll take our time, but just the right amount.
- Start by frying the bacon in a pan without fat until it’s nicely golden, I often leave it a bit longer for crunchiness, but it’s up to your taste.
- Meanwhile, lightly butter your ramekins (yes, I keep this grandma’s trick, cream sticks easily otherwise…).
- Distribute the bacon in the ramekins, break two eggs per ramekin, then pour a little fresh cream on each egg.
- Salt, pepper, and if you’re like me, add a bit of grated cheese on top (just for pleasure).
- Pour 20 cl of water into the Cookeo pot, place the ramekins in the steam basket. This is important for steam cooking under pressure.
- Set the Cookeo to pressure cooking mode for 4 minutes. Yes, only 4 minutes, I swear it’s enough for a runny yolk and set whites.
- Once cooking is finished, carefully remove the ramekins, sprinkle with freshly chopped chives, and serve immediately. Honestly, this is the moment I love when it smells like bacon and warm cream.
The utensils you need for this express Cookeo recipe
- The Cookeo obviously! No Cookeo, no express baked eggs (well, you can do it differently, but I recommend giving it a try)
- 4 ramekins (small bowls suitable for oven/steaming)
- A pan to brown the bacon
- A knife and a cutting board for the chives
- A spoon to pour the cream
Honestly, this recipe has become a Sunday classic at my place, and when I have guests, it always makes its little effect. Cooking with the Cookeo is so reliable that I no longer stress whether the yolk will be perfect. Plus, you can vary the pleasures with some cheese or even a hint of chili if you’re daring!
I highly recommend you try it, even for an impromptu dinner. It’s reassuring, quick, and between us, bacon and eggs is a love story that never ends.
Well, if you’re the type who likes to control cooking more precisely, it can be tricky with the Cookeo, but honestly, I love the “ready in one click” side. Try it, let me know what you think!
Can I prepare these baked eggs without a Cookeo?
Yes, of course. You can cook them in the oven in a water bath at 180°C for about 10 minutes, watching the cooking to keep the yolk runny.
Can bacon be replaced by something else?
Absolutely. For a less salty version, raw ham or even sautéed mushrooms work very well. You can also try the vegetarian version without meat.
How to store leftovers?
If you have any, you can keep baked eggs in the fridge in their ramekins, well covered, and reheat gently in the oven. Be careful, the white can become a bit rubbery.
Can this recipe be prepared in advance?
I advise you to prepare only the filling (bacon, cream), then break the eggs at the last moment so that cooking in the Cookeo is well done and fresh.
