Indian Style Baked Eggs with Green Harissa + Naan.
And a little goat cheese because well, YUM.
Umm, but I may have forgotten the goat cheese for photos. UGH. So very sorry about this, but in my defense, my working conditions have been pretty dusty and intrusive lately.
At this very moment, I have three carpenters sawing wood in the next room over and if you looked at the photos of my house, you already know that everything is OPEN. SO, this means I have saw dust all over me and yeah, I do think it may be effecting the effectiveness of my brain. The very good news is, I can sort of see the light at the end of the tunnel. Well, as far as the wood work goes. They are working on the last wall and while I am sure there are still a few other minor things that will need to be done, I am SO exited for the major wood work to be over with. It should hopefully mean that the bulk of all the dustyness will be over.
And also!?!? My bedroom is totally finished…well minus my cute little chandler that I still need my very LAME electrician to hang. I will not lie, getting that chandelier hung may never happen. I may end up trying to convince my dad to come over and do it. My electrician? He just will not show up and when he does? He comes and does the tiniest thing and he’s gone within the hour. It’s cool though, my lights just dangle out of their sockets and it’s a little dark at night, but the kitchen works….so I am good….or this is what I keep telling myself….it’a all gonna be worth it….yes….it will.
Positive thinking!
So anyway, happy Monday!
Are some of you off work for Martin Luther King Jr. Day? My dad’s off, but I am thinking there are a lot of us out there working today? You lucky people who have the day off, are you doing anything fun? I’m cooking of course, along with my worker dudes, but that’s pretty much a very typical day for me these days. I am also trying to figure out how to get internet down here at the barn. At first I tried a Verizon hot spot – not for me, ate waaay too much data! Then I looked into other options , but nothing sounded too promising. Now we are going back to Comcast to see if they can help. You see my mom bought this giant 1000 ft outdoor ethernet cord on Amazon to try to establish a connection from the main house all the way down to the barn. Unfortunately, we lacked the skills needed to make the thing work! Next move – call in the Comcast cavalry and see what they can do. You see there is no digging around here after October 15 and we missed the date. Therefore, we need to get creative. I’ll keep you posted!
Ok, but let’s talk about these Northern Indian style baked eggs.
I told you guys I was doing something with that green harissa from yesterday. I bet that many of you, knowing my love for eggs, guessed I would pair them with the green harissa. I mean, do you remember when I made the red harissa and then the next day I made this toast? Being honest here, it’s probably some of the best toast around. Eggs, avocado, goat cheese<–YEAH.
Naturally, I went with Indian flavors and eggs, but this time I baked umm, and made them much more curry-like. Curry baked eggs… with tomatoes and cilantro and goat cheese, oh and loads of fresh naan for dipping (a must obviously).
It’s the best any time, cozy and yet still super healthy, meal. Also, I have never been hung over, but I am thinking this would cure any hangover. I mean, right?!? Eggs, tomatoes, cheese, carbs? Sounds pretty perfect to me.
This recipe could not be better food for a Monday. Like I said, it’s delish, cozy, quick, easy AND healthy, but yet still feels totally comforting. Trust me. make this tonight – and the naan, because it’s really nothing without the naan. You need something to soak up all the sauce.
And before I go, I want to say that this recipe was inspired by a photo the incredibly talented Tara O’Brady Posted. Her eggs looked so incredible I wanted to try my hand at them!

Hello comfort food – done healthy.

Yum this looks so good…and spicy. I don’t have the day off, but if I did this would be being made.
Thanks Lisa!
Thank you for posting this recipe! I’m going to make it for breakfast this morning.
Same here. I’m off work today so I can eat a hearty breakfast a little later.
Nothing wrong with breakfast for dinner! 🙂
YEAH! Hope you love it, let me know! 🙂
This will have to be a dinner for me–no time to cook in the morning.
Today I’m off school and I can run to Penzeys to get some spices especially the garam masala–don’t have that.
That last picture looks like a plate ready to dive into and I wish I could.
Keep thinking Christmas 2015–lights and so many things will be right for you.
Breakfast for dinner is the best! 🙂
Hope you love it!
This looks delicious, Tieghan! I always get so excited when you post a pre-recipe for an even better recipe and when I saw that green harissa I knew it was gonna be awesome! Hope you get your internet stuff worked out!
HAHA! Thank you so much, Tori! Hope you had a great Monday!
OH MY GAHSH! I am totally obsessed with this. I eat eggs everyday because they are AMAZING, and Indian flavahs are basically my life. So, this…I want to eat it forever and a day.

Literally looked at the first photo and said “wow”. That’s how amazing this looks! I have said this before, but Tieghan! Your styling just keeps getting better and better! I am so jealous of your skill 😉 And my husband and I are huge Indian fans so this is going on the menu STAT!
This looks insane! I’ve planned to make shakshuka this week, but now I’m intrigued to make this instead. Thanks for sharing!

Wow, you and Pinch of Yum both posted something like this today.
Ha! I know, I saw!! Lindsay’s is gorgeous! Love her version!
Hi Tieghan, Hello from France! When do you add the goat cheese?
HI! I add it just before serving and right after it comes out of the oven. Sorry about that, I will fix the recipe. Hope you love this!!
I feel like I always say this to you, but GORGEOUS! I love all the Indian flavors, plus eggs. Yeah.
THANK YOU! 🙂
Hope you had a great Monday!
Mmm – so many amazing flavors!!! Love flavorful ways to eat more eggs! And your pics are so amazing!

Yummy is all i can say about this recipe, along with the harissa recipe yesterday! I will be excited to make this soon, as I have never had anything like this. To new experiences and food adventures, led by my favorite blogger!!! 🙂
THANK YOU! Hope you love this, Melissa! 🙂
Ahhh this is so creative! I may or may not be imagining myself dipping naan into the skillet. And that last shot! Great recipe and photos 🙂
Thank you so much! Hope you had a great Monday!
Hi! This looks awesome. Just a question, at what point are you adding the harissa? Are you stirring it into the sauce or just using it at the end as a garnish? Can’t see it in the instructions 🙂 Thanks, looking forward to trying it!
Hey Claire! You just use it as a garnish. Sorry to confuse you. Hope you love this!
bah I hate when my recipe has a detail I didn’t include in the photos, it happens to all of us!! this looks awesome anyway though, love that yummy green harissa!
This is my first time to your site. This recipe looks amazing: eggs, savory sauce with Indian spicing, goat cheese. Yum, indeed. I am allergic to coconut milk. Can I use almond milk?
Thank you!!!’
Thank you so much, Jennifer!!! So excited you are liking what you see!
I think something a little thicker would work better, would whole milk or cream work?
Good grief T. This looks beyond delicious. This is one of my absolute favourite ways of eating eggs, the possibilities are endless. Love!
THANK YOU!! Hope all is well! 🙂
This sounds great, any suggestions for my valentine’s day menu? I’m thinking of a very Indian style dinner party!
And Indian dinner party sounds AMAZING! 🙂
This recipe looks delightful. Did I miss the what the temperature is for the oven?
Hey Megan! Thanks so much! Sorry, i left the temp out by mistake, it is 375 degrees F. Hope you love this!
is the Harissa a topping for after? Making it all now! 🙂
es, for after it comes out of the oven. Hope you love this, thanks!!!
I am new to your site and a HUGE fan! I just stumbled across it on a Google search the other day. I made this Indian baked egg recipe tonight and your BLT Croque Madame last night. Amazing. Thank you. I aspire to food blog like you someday, but until then I’ll just try to re-create your recipes 🙂
So happy you enjoyed both recipes!! Thank you for all the kind words!! 🙂
Great recipe. You’re my favorite recipe site by far and I’m waiting eagerly for you to take your recipes and publosh a cookbook.
Re: Ethernet cable – they’re limited to 100 meters (300) feet in a single cable run, so you’d need to add a repeater midway or use something like an Altronix eBridge 100RMT which allows you to have longer cable runs. If you just run 1000 feet of cable, it almost certainly won’t work because the devices aren’t powerful enough to send the signal that far.
THANKS so much!!! Such kind words! 🙂
I sort of have no clue what you said, but I think that is what I have. Whatever it is, it works! 🙂
It looks really amazing. Can’t believe i’ve never tried this before. Longing for this fantastic eggs with a cup (actually more than one cup) for this weekend! Let’s roll. Opps, did i say that i love you? You’re blog is the best blog ever!
Awe!! THANK YOU! Hope you have a great Memorial Day weekend!!
I found this recipe among my emails and can’t believe it has slipped by me. just wondering how many does this recipe serve. this will be Sunday brunch. Thank you for all the beautiful photos, recipes and blog stories. you are amazing and inspire us all to cook amazing food, (sometimes I just look at the amazing food). Thanks again xx
HI Lana!! Thank you so much! This will serve 4-6. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Thank you! ?
Wow, I can’t wait to make this. My family is going to love this recipe! How much different of a flavor does green harissa have compared to red harissa? Thanks!
Green Harissa is similar, but slightly less spicy. Please let me know if you have other questions. Hope you love this recipe! Thanks! 🙂
Would you consider this a shakshuka?
It is very similar, yes!! Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this recipe. Thanks so much!! xTieghan
I made this for lunch and it is delicious! I’m planning to prepare this in a 14″ Dutch oven for breakfast on an upcoming camping trip and I’m sure it will be a welcome surprise for my camping companions instead of the usual variation on bacon, eggs and potatoes.
I am so glad you loved this recipe, Keith! Thank you so much! xTieghan
