Tips

Melty chedar cheese and runny eggs make the dream combination! These Alpine eggs make a fantastic dish for breakfast, brunch, or even a light lunch.

Serve with crusty fresh bread (you could dip in the bread or opt for Alpine eggs on toast). Or for a lighter option, pair with a crisp green salad.

What kind of dish do you use for this? I presume you need a dish per serving and it would be fairly small?

I loved this Alpine Eggs recipe. We have rescued ex-commercial hens who now lay the most delicious eggs which definitely enhanced the overall taste of this dish. The Alpine Eggs were a healthy and tasty start to my day and they also make a yummy light meal at any other times too.

I've made this the way in the recipe. But, at work we have a small omelette maker and I've made it at work with a small salad that I brought in with me and everyone thought it was amazing to be able to make something so fresh in such a short time in the office kitchen. Now their all at it. It's starting to be competition time to see who can create the best new edition to our repertoire.

Fab and truly delicious way to use those few eggs that always seem to be left behind at the end of the week. Will be making this one regularly from now on.
