Joanne Chang & Food52 is the inspiration for this recipe. Theirs was a Breakfast Sandwich made with brioche buns and hot sauce and lettuce. I also like these custard eggs with Pickled Red Onions and a salad or some sautéed veggies like zucchini.

Here’s the recipe for their eggs

Ingredients

• 9 eggs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup half & half
• Butter for the pan
• 6 slices cheddar cheese optional

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 300 F
2. Butter an 8-9 inch square baking pan
3. In a medium bowl whisk eggs and salt
4. Add half & half and whisk again
5. Pour eggs into buttered pan
6. Place pan of eggs into a larger size pan and then pour hot water into the outer pan to reach halfway up the sides of egg pan
7. Place foil over eggs or cover with a baking sheet
8. Bake 20-35 minutes or until inserted knife comes out clean
9. Cool 10 minutes and slice into 6 squares with a sharp knife
10. If adding cheese, lift squares out of pan and place in another baking pan. Cover with cheese slices. Return to oven until melted.
11. Serve on buttered brioche buns with lettuce and hot sauce or serve with Pickled Red Onions and sautéed zucchini
