How to make Baked Garlic Herb Egg Salad: a step-by-step guide

1. Prepare the baking dish

Preheat your oven to 380°F.

Line a baking dish with parchment paper, allowing a little extra parchment to hang over the edges for easy removal.

2. Add the eggs and cheese

Crack all 12 eggs directly into the prepared baking dish.

Place the entire Garlic & Herb Alouette cheese round in the center.

3. Bake

Bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until the eggs are fully cooked and set.

As the eggs bake, the cheese softens and melts into the mixture, creating the creamy base for your Baked Garlic Herb Egg Salad.

4. Mix the egg salad

Transfer the baked eggs and softened cheese to a large mixing bowl.

Use a fork or potato masher to break everything apart and mix until creamy.

5. Add Parmesan

Stir in shredded Parmesan cheese while the mixture is still warm.

The Parmesan adds even more savory flavor to this Baked Garlic Herb Egg Salad.

6. Chill and serve

Serve warm or refrigerate for later.

Personally, I love letting the flavors blend together in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving.
