Eggs are among the most popular ingredients in the kitchen and, when it comes to preparing breakfast from them, there is a whole range of recipes, from those generally well-known and simple to more sophisticated ones that require a bit more culinary skill.
Among the simplest ways to prepare eggs are hard-boiled, soft-boiled and medium-boiled eggs, as well as omelettes, which can be served plain or filled with various fillings. Also popular are, for example, fried eggs, scrambled eggs and also ham and eggs (in Czech sometimes also called hemenex), i.e. eggs baked with ham or English bacon. Some people also like poached eggs.
If you feel like trying to make something unusual from eggs that, on the other hand, won’t take too much of your time and won’t be complicated, you can try this recipe originating from faraway Serbia.
Potřebné suroviny
Pro přípravu srbské vaječné snídaně budete potřebovat:
- 8 celých čerstvých vajec
- 250 ml zakysané smetany
- 1 polévkovou lžíci másla
- 1 polévkovou lžíci strouhanky, nejlépe domácí
- 150 g strouhaného sýru, a
- trochu čerstvé sekané petrželky nebo pažitky.
Postup přípravy
Take a suitable, rather shallow baking dish and grease it with butter. Then put the sour cream into it and carefully crack the eggs into it, one by one. Then sprinkle the layer of eggs with chopped parsley or chives.
Separately, in a bowl mix the grated cheese with the breadcrumbs and use this mixture to sprinkle the eggs in the cream. Then add a few small knobs of butter on the surface.
Preheat the oven to 220 °C and place the baking dish inside. Bake until the eggs set and the surface turns golden. The estimated baking time is approximately 10 minutes, but it will also depend on the type and power of your oven.
Then all that’s left is to take a slice of fresh, good bread, make yourself coffee, tea or another favorite drink, and enjoy a simple but unconventional breakfast.
This recipe was printed in 1956 in the Serbian edition of the Great National Cookbook, where it was additionally recommended to sprinkle the dish with pieces of anchovies before baking. If you like them, you can of course try this original variant of the recipe.
