Bake
Baked eggs, shirred eggs, or eggs en cocotte are a French recipe for eggs that have been cracked into individual ramekins and baked in the oven in a hot water bath. To make, pre-heat your oven to 375 °F. Grease the ramekins with butter or olive oil. Crack the eggs into the ramekins and place in a baking dish that can hold liquid. Season the eggs, then pour hot water into the baking dish until it reaches halfway up the ramekins. Bake on the middle rack of the oven until the whites are set. If you like your eggs runny, take them out within 12-15 minutes. For harder-cooked eggs, leave them for up to 20 minutes. Enjoy with a spoon or toasts for dipping.
