Baked Eggs with Fresh Herbs and Cheese

Butter. Eggs. Cheese. Back in the days when we were still kids, we always wanted our eggs, sunny side-up or scrambled, cooked in butter and loads of cheese. We usually have it for our afternoon snacks, but there were times when we would want it to be part of all our meals for the whole day on very rare instances. As years have gone by, I've outgrown having my butter-eggs-cheese fix the way we knew how it was done probably for the reason that my palate grew to like more mature and more cultured dishes and veer away from the usual fried or scrambled eggs. Since then, the urge has never resurrected while our eldest brother still raves for sunny side-ups with lots of butter and melted cheese to this day with the addition of finely chopped garlic that adds more class to the usual fried egg.

Then I came across this book by Samantha Sotto in August of 2011. Since this is not a blog about book reviews, I'm stopping myself from writing down how the story went. Let's just say it's somewhat Time Traveler's Wife but with more hope. Apart from how Shelley and Max have met through a European group tour and how their love story have gone in the book, Max's baked eggs and cheese played a major role how the mystery of immortality was laid down in the story. Check out the video teaser, too. Bottomline is that the book left me wanting to try Max's baked eggs and cheese just the way how I imagined it.
