Fisherman’s Eggs
Fisherman's Eggs
I love sardines, and I love eggs, this is a win win right here. I have changed this to reflect using individual Pyrex dishes. I made this on 6 Aug 2017, and it is yummy! This makes a very filling breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Link to the shortcut is listed in the Recipe Notes section.
Equipment
- Oven
- Baking Dish (1¼ cup size)
Ingredients
- 1 tin sardines in olive oil, (120 g / 4¼ oz), see Step 2, Shortcut
- 1 small shallot, sliced
- fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- black pepper, to taste
- 2 eggs, chicken or duck
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 220°° C (425° F). When the oven is hot, heat a small baking dish for 5 minutes in the oven. I used a Pyrex serving dish, the 1¼ cup size dish.
- For the sardines, use a tin of sardines in olive oil, Ayam brand is the only one I found with oil and is highly recommended. Or use 2-3 pieces of sardines from a homemade batch of sardines. Drain the tin and place the sardines in another small bowl and use a spoon and just break the sardines into chunks. Add the shallot, garlic, and parsley and mix together, season with black pepper as desired.
- Remove the baking dish from the oven, add the sardine mixture to the heated dish and return to the oven for 5-6 minutes.
- Remove the dish from the oven, crack two eggs into a bowl, and slide them into the heated dish, season with salt and pepper to your liking, return the dish to the oven for another 7 minutes or until the whites are set. Remove the dish and place on the counter and cover with a lid for 5 minutes (the eggs will continue to cook, and it needs to cool, can actually let it sit for 10 minutes and you will have hot sardines and eggs).
- Serve with toast for a good breakfast or with a salad for a dinner.
Notes
If using tinned sardines, 1 tin per serving at 59 Baht, this is about $1.74 per serving. If making sardines at home, the cost will only be slightly less due to the cost of the olive oil needed. Not a inexpensive meal but certainly healthy.

I made this on 6 Aug 2017, and I must say, this is outstanding, very filling. I used a small Pyrex dish with one tin of sardines and two eggs, when I make this again, and I will, I will use the same amount of ingredients but will use two dishes. Even though high cost for 1 serving, this is a Go-To recipe!
I am going to have to try this with sardines in tomato sauce, that would make this a low cost meal.
