Tabasco baked eggs recipe. A little bit of spice goes a long way!

One of my favorite things about the weekends is the extra time I have to prepare food. This past weekend, I experimented with a baked egg recipe, a dish I’ve been wanting to try for some time. It turned out really well. A hearty, start-the-day-right dish that is super cheap, easy, and adaptable.

About The Recipe

It’s not a quiche, it’s not a strata. It’s just eggs, cracked opened and baked. I added turkey bacon, scallions, and cheese to mine, but you could pretty much substitute any type of topping or filling you would put in an egg dish:

  • Tomatoes
  • Green or red peppers
  • Onions
  • Spinach
  • Mushrooms
  • Black olives
  • Feta cheese
  • Sausage

I added Tabasco sauce to the bottom of the buttered baking dish, which added a nice kick. The butter mellowed out the Tabasco a bit, so if you’re a heat lover, you could add a little more to suit your liking.

You can use whatever hot sauce you have on hand: Cholula, Tapatio, or Frank’s RedHot. Or better yet – you could make your own homemade hot sauce.
