Ingredients:

  • 1 egg

Directions:

  1. In France, this basic methods of baked eggs is called oeufs en cocotte which means eggs baked in ramekins. .
  2. You can bake eggs nestled in other foods such as rice, vegetables or sauces. These foods should be heated before the eggs are added for faster and more even cooking. Make indentations in the heated food with the back of a spoon, about 2-inch diameter.

  4. If baking the eggs in other solid foods or in liquids, preheat them before adding the eggs for faster and more even cooking.
  5. Preheat oven to 325°F.
  6. For each serving, lightly butter an individual oven-proof baking dish or ramekin.
  7. Break one or two eggs into each dish. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon 1 tablespoon milk or cream over eggs (skim milk, low-fat milk, half and half, or light cream may be substituted). Spooning a liquid over the eggs can help prevent drying out.
