Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get runny yolks?
Watch the eggs closely after 8 minutes. The whites should be fully opaque while the yolks still jiggle. They'll continue cooking from residual heat.
Can I use a different cheese?
Goat cheese or halloumi also work beautifully. The key is a firm cheese that softens but doesn't completely melt.
Can I prep this ahead?
Roast the vegetables ahead and refrigerate. When ready, reheat in the oven 10 minutes, then add eggs and bake.
