Breakfast foods are one of my favorite recipe categories to test, hands down.
Mainly because it usually involves eggs, and I love eggs in just about any form. Especially when you get that runny yolk that just seems to make your dish even prettier.
But one of my faults when testing recipes is the cooking or baking time. For some reason, I always overestimate on time, whether that be with granola, brownies, cookies, or even eggs.
It took me a long time to perfect this Banana Bread Granola because I kept burning it, and I often overcooked these brownies until I got the texture just right. And baked eggs? Those require some skill and patience, too. After all, you can’t cook them too long, otherwise the yolk starts to harden. But, if you don’t cook them long enough, you end up with under cooked, slightly raw whites.
But when the idea for these Marinara Baked Eggs sprung to life, I knew I had to get my egg baking skills just right. After all, the runny yolk is definitely needed.
