Ingredients
1 egg
1 teaspoon butter or olive oil
1 pinch salt
1 pinch black pepper
1 teaspoon chopped fresh herbs (optional)
1 tablespoon cream, cheese, or cooked vegetables (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a ramekin with butter or oil.
2. Add any optional cream, cheese, or sautéed vegetables to the bottom of the ramekin.
3. Crack the egg gently into the ramekin, keeping the yolk intact.
4. Sprinkle salt, pepper, and optional herbs over the egg.
5. Place the ramekin on a baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes.
6. Check at the 12-minute mark for desired doneness. Whites should be set; yolk slightly jiggly.
7. Remove from oven and let sit for 1 minute. Garnish and serve warm.
Notes
Use room temperature eggs for more even cooking.
Avoid overbaking to keep the yolk soft and creamy.
A water bath helps create an ultra-tender, custard-like egg texture.
