Oeufs en Cocotte

Posted 2014-07-05 by Lindsay Law ⇒ follow

Baked eggs are such a simple supper, and you can use lots of extra ingredients to make them a bit more special. I used sweetcorn, but you could also add a layer of ham at the bottom, or slices of tomato.

Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Makes: 4 servings

Ingredients
Butter (for greasing)
8 free-range eggs
4 tbsp creme fraiche

Method

Preheat the oven to 190°C, and put a kettle of water on to boil.

Grease each ramekin with a little butter.

If you are adding extras, like sweetcorn or ham, then layer this in the bottom now.

Crack two eggs into each ramekin, followed by a spoonful of creme fraiche. You can also just make these with one egg, if you prefer a lighter supper.
