- Grease a ramekin liberally. You can supposedly buy egg coddlers which are little ramekins with lids but I have never seen them. A ramekin works fine.
- Crack in an egg add the cream and top with the cheese.
- In an oven proof dish put the ramekin and then pour enough boiling water to come halfway up the ramekin.
- bake for 12 - 15 minutes until the eggs are lightly set.

By the way, canning tongs work great for getting the ramekins out of the hot water. -
Wonderful. This recipe is an easy way to dress up regular eggs. The directions are perfect. I will save this recipe to make these eggs often. Thank you! -
I had 2 of these delicious eggs with some buttered wholemeal/wholegrain toast as my mothers day breakfast and really enjoyed. We only used 1 teaspoon of cream on each and a very light sprinkle of grated cheese (a little over 1/2 tablespoon) and baked at 170C fan forced for 10 minutes for perfectly cooked egg white and lovely runny yolks. Thank you PinkCerryBlossom and Mikekey for his recommendation, made for I Recommend Tag Game. -
Yummy, thanks for sharing. I liked using the ramekins. I actually have some egg coddlers I got from my mother-in-law, they're wonderful. I haven't seen any in stores but you can find some online at amazon or ebay. -
Topped mine with a little extra cheese & freshly ground pepper after plating. Made for the Easter Egg Hunt.
