Helen says
Hi there, can I cook this in the microwave?
Joanie Zisk says
You probably could cook the eggs in the microwave but I have not tested the recipe this way.
Jacqui says
Hi. I never have heavy cream on hand, but I “always” have evaporated milk or 2% milk. Can I use those as substitutes in your recipes? Thank you.
Joanie Zisk says
Hi Jacqui,
Evaporated milk or 2% milk (or other kinds of milk) can be substituted in some of our recipes, but others need the higher fat content that cream provides. You can use evaporated milk or 2% milk in this cheesy baked eggs recipe instead of cream. When a different type of milk can be used in a recipe, we make a note of it in the "Ingredient Notes" section on each of the recipe pages.
Martha Dackowski says
This was delicious. I am a small eater so I cut the recipe in half. Used half and half as I didn't have heavy cream, and used fixed sharp cheddar because that was all I had. Even with these substitutions it was so yummy. Perfect. Thank you! Quick and easy, did in my toaster oven.
Joanie Zisk says
I'm so happy you enjoyed the eggs, Martha. Thank you so much for your feedback.
Shanan Vandiver says
Can you mix it the night before and bake it in the morning?
Joanie Zisk says
Yes, just stir the mixture before placing the ramekin in the oven.
Marilyn says
Another Joanie recipe requested over and over by my husband. I serve it with a fresh fruit platter and French press coffee for his brunch. Retirement rocks.
