Easy Coddled Eggs

"Very easy egg dish that doesn't require much work. They come out creamy. I like to eat them on toast with salsa. I usually put a dash of hot sauce on the eggs, but thats how I like my eggs."

directions

  • Line a deep skillet with 2 layers of paper towels and fill with 1 to 2 inches of water, bring to a boil.
  • Break one egg into each buttered ramekin and season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour 2 tsp of heavy cream around each unbroken egg yolk.
  • Sprinkle with 2 tsp of grated cheese.
  • Place all 4 ramekins in skillet and turn down heat so water is simmering. Cover and steam eggs for 4-6 minutes or until whites are set. If you like runny yolks, serve now. If you like yolks cooked longer, then continue to steam a little longer.
  • Garnish with your favorite toppings (salsa, crumbled bacon, etc.).

  1. This was a quick, easy way to make coddled eggs....no waiting for the oven to preheat, no heating up the whole kitchen. I didn't have heavy cream so I used half and half and a tiny dollop of butter, and it came out delicious. Thanks for sharing the stove-top technique.
