Ingredients
1 egg (per serving)
1 teaspoon butter or olive oil
Pinch salt
Pinch black pepper
1 teaspoon chopped fresh herbs (parsley, chives, or thyme)
1 tablespoon grated cheese (optional)
1 tablespoon heavy cream (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Grease each ramekin with butter or olive oil.
3. Crack 1 egg into each ramekin, keeping the yolk whole.
4. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and herbs. Add cheese or cream if desired.
5. Place ramekins on a baking sheet.
6. Optionally, add hot water to the baking sheet for a water bath.
7. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until whites are set and yolks are to your liking.
8. Remove from oven, let cool for 1–2 minutes, and serve warm.
Notes
For a runnier yolk, bake for only 12 minutes and remove promptly.
Use a water bath if you want extra tenderness—especially useful for multiple ramekins.
These eggs can be seasoned and prepped in advance; just cover and refrigerate until baking.
