Eggs are versatile and delicious in every form for me and I particularly am fond of eating eggs for lunch – which means baked eggs in various forms! I started thinking of something along the lines of Thai curry and eggs and thought, why not bake them? Here I use leftover Thai curry green paste, add it to coconut cream, add some fresh lemongrass, a dried kaffir lime leaf and cook for a little bit in a pan, then crack eggs on top, cover, letting them steam and then voila! Simply sprinkle some sesame seeds and peanuts and really, you’ve got yourself a whole meal!
