Baked Eggs

My own recipe with input by Mifi and The Joy of Cooking


Recipe Introduction


Inspired by Mifi at eGullet and her amazing pictures of her baked eggs, I decided to try them one Sunday morning. They were delicious and so much easier than I thought they would be! I don’t know why I haven’t done these before, but I’ll be doing them often from now on! You can mix them up how you like. The ingredient list is just a suggestion. This time I made them with some leftover Serrano ham and a 3 year cheddar. A toaster oven works great here!


List of Ingredients




PER SERVING:
1 egg
2 t. butter
1 T. cream
1/2 T. finely chopped ham
1/2 T. shredded cheese
A sprinkling of fresh herbs: chives, parsley, thyme, etc.
Freshly ground black pepper


Recipe



Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Place the butter in a ramekin and heat for about 4 minutes in the oven. Add the egg and the rest of the ingredients. Place the ramekin back in the oven for 6 – 9 minutes. You want the whites cooked and the yellows runny. It can take a few tries to get it right based on your oven. But even if it is a little over cooked, it will still be good. Remember that there will be carry-over cooking after the ramekin is removed from the oven, so you want it a little ‘shakey’.
