Baked Eggs for Dinner! Veggie-riffic.

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:

* 16 pkg. frozen broccoli, carrots, and cauliflower, (or other kind) thawed
* 2 t butter, and 2 t more, later
* 8 eggs
* 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
* 1/4 tsp. thyme

Get out those ramekins you've been wondering what to do with.

Prep:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Drain vegetables. Melt the butter. Use the first half of the butter to brush inside the ramekins. Place the vegetables around outside edges and leave space in the center of four individual 2 cup ramekins and drizzle the rest of the melted butter over vegetables in each dish. Break eggs, one at a time, into a small dish and slide two into the center of each ramekin. Sprinkle each ramekin with the parmesan cheese and the thyme.

Of course, you could nix the butter, and do the nonstick spray. Thats no fun.

Place ramekins on cookie sheet and bake at 325 degrees for 20-25 minutes until eggs are thoroughly cooked. Serves 4

I totally messed up this recipe that I found on about.com
hope they don't mind. Hope vegetarians eat eggs, too.
