Baked Eggs

In good Taste

This version of baked bags can be considered a low-calorie version simply because there is no cream or milk added. However, if you want to add milk or cream, please do so as it gives added richness to the eggs.

You’ll need to get 2 small oven-proof bowls for this recipe as well as a baking sheet/pan.
