Introduction
After a series of inspiring pins over at my frequently obsessed Pinterest homepage, I decided I wanted a lighter version of the baked eggs people are always pinning (you know the recipes I'm talking about--where soccer moms and bloggers bake bread, bacon, and an egg inside muffin tins). This recipe really peaked my interest with its use of roasted kale. Not having kale on hand, I replaced the kale with leftover broccoli and cauliflower from the gratin I made the night before (another recipe that is thanks to Rhett Clement!), and improvised with less bacon and fewer spices as not to overwhelm the palette. The results are savory but simple, elegant yet everyday.http://www.clearlydelicio

Ingredients
-
*1 tablespoon butter, room temperature
*1/4 cup Parmesan, freshly grated or shredded
*1 teaspoon Red Stick Thyme
*1/4 cup roasted broccoli (as with leftovers from here), or any like green such as spinach or kale
*4 eggs
*1 strip bacon, cooked until crispy and broken into pieces
*Red Stick paprika, for sprinkling
*Salt and pepper, to taste
SPECIAL EQUIPMENT NEEDED:
2 ramekins
Directions
1.) Preheat oven to 350F. Butter 2 ramekins and fill with next three ingredients (Parmesan, Thyme, and broccoli), making sure to evenly distribute ingredients between 2 ramekins with 2 eggs in each baking dish.
2.) Sprinkle with crisped bacon, paprika, and salt and pepper to taste. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until eggs are at desired level of done-ness.*
