    Stuffing Baked Eggs Recipe

    Leftover stuffing + runny egg + Parmesan cheese = YUUUUUM!

    Stuffing Baked Eggs

    The act of eating Thanksgiving leftovers can be just as enjoyable as the original meal, because tradition and sensibility no longer apply.  Turkey can be reimagined into chili, salad or tacos.  Mashed potatoes transformed into waffles, shepherd’s pie or crispy pancakes.  Cranberry sauce used as a sandwich spread, ice cream topping or cocktail mix-in.  With leftovers, creativity and ingenuity rule.

    These Stuffing Baked Eggs are a simple way to take leftover stuffing to the next level.  The recipe starts with a series of bowls filled with leftover stuffing. The stuffing is cooked until golden and crispy around the edges, then whole eggs are cracked into each bowl, and sprinkled with Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper.  After a final trip to the oven, the Stuffing Baked Eggs emerge with opaque whites and wobbly yolks.  Finished with chopped, fresh parsley, the eggs lend a wonderful richness to the savory stuffing below.  So tasty and comforting!  Continue reading for the recipe.

    Servings 6 servings

    Ingredients
      

    • Non-stick cooking spray
    • About 4 cups leftover stuffing
    • Chicken stock, if stuffing is on the dry side
    • 6 eggs
    • Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
    • Kosher salt
    • Freshly ground black pepper
    • Chopped parsley

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat an oven to 425°F and set an oven rack in the middle position. Grease 6 oven safe bowls lightly with non-stick cooking spray, and place on a baking sheet. Fill each bowl with 1/2 – 3/4 cup leftover stuffing. Be sure to leave a little space at the top to accommodate the egg. If stuffing is on the dry side, moisten with a little chicken stock. Transfer the baking sheet to the oven, and bake until stuffing deepens in color and starts to crisp at the edges (about 15 minutes).
    • Carefully take the baking sheet from the oven. Break an egg into each bowl, then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Season each egg with kosher salt and black pepper. Return the baking sheet to the oven, and continue to cook until the eggs are set around the edges, but still a bit wobbly in the middle (7 – 9 minutes). Let the bowls rest for 5 minutes before serving. The eggs will continue to cook while they rest, resulting in perfectly runny eggs. Finish with a sprinkling of chopped parsley in each bowl.

    Notes

    Stuffing Baked Eggs can be easily scaled up or down as needed. Plan on 1/2 to 3/4 cup of stuffing and one egg per person. This size portion is perfect for breakfast or for lunch when paired with a small salad.

      My favorite way to use up Thanksgiving Leftovers is any way that hides the fact that they’re leftovers! My own invention of a twist on an Italian potato dish is one of my top choices, but these stuffing baked eggs also hit the mark!

      I’m such a huge fan of breakfast it’s hard not to believe that you didn’t create this dish just for me. 🙂 As far as what I do with leftovers, my favorite thing is to make up a plate that matches what I did on Thanksgiving and enjoy the meal all over again.

        Hahah, that’s a good plan for leftovers. I usually don’t have enough of everything to make up an exact plate 🙂

      I really don’t bake my eggs enough. I have lonely ramekins just asking to be used for more than dessert!

      The only disappointment in this recipe is the fact that I have no left over stuffing. I’m really looking forward to making this- thank so much for sharing.

        Haha yes! Leftover stuffing is a must. My stuffing recipe makes a huge amount, so I’ve always got some leftover 🙂

      I love transforming leftovers and this is a great idea! Too bad I love stuffing so much (my mother-in-law makes me a special vegetarian version on the side) that I never have any leftover, but there is always thought of my husband and daughter 🙂

      Oh wow, this is a great way to use leftover stuffing. I think I’ll cook some additional dressing so I can make this recipe later this week.

      I am a huge fan of leftover stuffing. Usually with some leftover gravy and an extra pat of butter for breakfast. I love the addition of the egg and the serving size is perfect! Even better if my stuffing has sausage in int!
