I'm generally not much of one for breakfast or even brunch. A giant cup of coffee will do me most mornings with maybe a cup of yogurt and fruit on the exceptionally hungry mornings. On the weekends, staying in and indulging would generally mean a smoothie but today I was recovering from my jet lag. For me, jet lag rarely means tiredness. There's a bit of that but mostly I lose my bearings. Can't tell when to eat or when to sleep. I like having the chance to slowly ease back into my regular schedule by allowing my body a day or two to do as it likes which can involve 4AM bedtimes and noon breakfasts. There was a lobster sale so I bought a few and set aside the meat for a nosh when hungry. I've also been dying to make something with my new little mini Staub cocottes. I decided on a baked eggs and it was amazing. Decadent, filling, and just what I needed. You can easily multiply the recipe as needed. What I have below makes one generous serving (I was hungry).
Please excuse my picture as it was taken with my crummy camera phone. My regular camera has been "borrowed" by family members.
Lobster Eggs en Cocotte
1 stalk of scallion (green part only) finely minced
1/4 cup lobster rough diced
2 eggs
2 tblsp cream
1 tblsp garlic butter (I make mine by mixing equal amount of mashed roasted garlic and butter)
Butter the cocotte with the garlic butter. Add in the lobster and scallion. Toss the two together. Top with the 2 eggs then the cream. Bake at 350F for 10 - 13 minutes until eggs are just set. EAT!
