The eggs are delicate and creamy and you can stuff your pots with any toppings you would like: herbs, cheese, vegetables, various meats. I sprinkled mine with rosemary, pesto and bacon chunks. You can either have it alone or spread it on bread.
I made these in ramekins, however you are free to use different cooking pots, bowls, or cups which are around the similar size. You want to use between 4oz to 6oz. A 4oz ramekin will yield a thicker egg which will take slightly more time to cook and the egg white might cover the egg yolk during cooking. A bigger, 6oz ramekin will cook the egg much faster and the egg yolk will probably stay on the surface since the egg white is more spread out.

Recipe instruction:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) . Grease inner of ramekins (between 4-6 oz in size) with butter. Put 1 tbsp of heavy cream to the bottom of every ramekin. Break egg on top.
- Sprinkle on preferred toppings ( if you go with something such as pesto, you may want to reserve a little to spoon over the top after the egg dish is done ).
- Fill a rectangle baking pan halfway with water and put ramekins inside (ensure the liquid level is not above the ramekins ).
- Bake for around 15-30 min until egg is barely set – whites are just made and yolk is still soft, the timing will depend on the size of your eggs and also how wide your ramekins are. I suggest you start checking in halfway, and then every couple of minutes so you don’t overcook the eggs.
- Allow eggs cool down slightly (they will also keep cook) before eating. You can either eat them just as is or spread onto toast or bread.
