Boursin baked eggs
The easiest breakfast idea !
If you’re looking for the easiest breakfast idea, these Boursin baked eggs are about to become a new favourite. Inspired by the viral baked feta eggs, this version uses creamy Boursin cheese to create a rich, velvety egg dish that’s packed with flavour and protein.
This recipe is perfect for a quick breakfast, brunch, or even a light dinner. It comes together in a single baking dish, requires only a few minutes of prep, and is incredibly easy to clean up.
All you need to do is add the cheese, eggs, and seasonings to a baking dish and bake. In less than 15 minutes, the eggs become soft and creamy, almost like a baked scrambled egg — but far more luxurious than the typical frying pan version.
Serve these creamy baked eggs on toast with tomatoes, wrapped in flatbread with avocado, or enjoy them on their own. Leftovers also work beautifully in a fresh tomato salad or breakfast wrap the next day.

Tips for Perfect Baked Eggs
The eggs may look slightly undercooked in the centre when you remove them from the oven. This is normal — they will continue cooking from residual heat once mixed with the cheese.
Use a small baking dish to keep the eggs creamy and prevent them from spreading too thin.
If you prefer firmer eggs, simply bake them for an additional 2–3 minutes.
