This endlessly adaptable recipe is perfect any time of day. In addition to herbs, you could add any cooked chopped vegetables or protein you have on hand. Serve with fruit and toast for an elegant breakfast, or toss together a quick salad for a light lunch or dinner.
While this recipe serves one, simply repeat the process below for additional guests, arranging the ramekins atop a jelly roll pan before placing in the oven. You may need to extend cooking time slightly; start checking after 15 minutes or so.

This looks delicious. I may make that tonight! We are growing an herb garden this year and I have these fresh herbs outside my back door…. #sitsgirls31dbbb
