Ingredients
Scale
- 4 fresh eggs
- 4 tablespoons heavy cream or milk
- 2 tablespoons butter (for greasing)
- 4 tablespoons grated cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or gruyère)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: diced turkey bacon, sliced chicken ham, sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or fresh herbs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Lightly butter four ovenproof ramekins to prevent sticking and add richness.
- Place the ramekins on a baking tray for easy handling.
- Pour 1 tablespoon of cream or milk into the bottom of each ramekin. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Crack one egg into each ramekin, keeping the yolks intact.
- Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of grated cheese over each egg.
- Add optional extras, such as cooked turkey bacon, chicken ham, mushrooms, or spinach. Spread them evenly over the eggs.
- Place the tray with the ramekins into the preheated oven.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, depending on how runny or firm you want the yolks.
- Remove the ramekins carefully from the oven and allow them to rest for 1 minute.
- Garnish with fresh herbs such as parsley, thyme, or chives.
- Serve immediately with toast, bread, or a light salad.
Notes
Use whole milk instead of cream for a lighter version.
Customize by mixing cheeses for added flavor.
Watch the eggs closely toward the end of baking to achieve the desired doneness.
Serve directly in the ramekins for a beautiful presentation.
