Herbed Baked Eggs and Maple Bacon

Mark here...I'm going to try and catch up here on some recipes...this one goes back to the pilot episode of Battlestar Galactica...these recipes are both variations from the Barefoot Contessa

Hereb Baked Eggs

Ingredients:

Chopped Garlic
Chopped Fresh Thyme
Chopped Fresh Rosemary
Chopped Fresh Parsley
Eggs
Grated Parmesan
Heavy Cream
Butter
Salt
Pepper
Toast

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

First combine the garlic, thyme, rosemary, parsley and parmesan.  I'm not listing portions because we did it for 4 people, with about 2 eggs per person. I used a large gratin dish and poured a layer of cream and about 2 tablespoons of butter into the bottom.  Place in the oven for about 3-5 minutes until butter melts, then add the eggs (about 8) and sprinkle herb mixture on top.  Turn the oven to broil, and place under the broiler for 5-6 minutes or until eggs are cooked to desired level.

Maple Bacon

Ingredients

Bacon
Real Maple Syrup

This recipe is really easy...my friends call it candied bacon because of how it turns out.  With the oven on about 400, put bacon on a rack on cookie sheet and place in the oven.  It can be a bit messy, and you may find yourself needing to drain off some of the bacon fat.  After about 15-20, remove the bacon and brush with maple syrup, then return to the oven for another 5 min. done!
