An elegant, simple breakfast or brunch dish from French home cooking: eggs are cracked into small baking dishes and cooked with cream and herbs in a water bath. The yolks remain runny, and the eggs are served with thin slices of bread for dipping.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Prepare the oven and dishes

5 min

Preheat the oven to 180°C / 355°F. Grease 4 small oven-safe dishes with butter and put one 5 ml measure of cream in the bottom of each.

2

Crack in the eggs

3 min

Crack one egg into each dish. Divide the remaining cream and the Parmesan, salt, and black pepper among the dishes.

3

Bake in a water bath

12 min

Arrange the dishes in a large baking pan and pour in hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the dishes. Bake until the whites are set and the yolks remain runny.

4

Serve

Sprinkle with chives and serve hot with slices of toasted bread.

Reminder

Important: Cook the dishes in a water bath; baking them directly on the oven floor makes the bottoms of the eggs firm and spoils the texture. Allergen: Contains eggs and dairy (cream). Since the yolks remain runny, use pasteurized eggs for anyone at higher risk from undercooked eggs.

Vegan bir versiyonu var mı, tereyağı yerine ne kullanılabilir? Bu tarifi büyük boy tepside iki katına çıkarsam pişirme süresi ne kadar uzar?

Bu tarifin klasik versiyonunu farklı biliyordum, yine de denemek güzeldi. Pişirme yöntemi yerine ızgara denedim, farklı ama daha iyi oldu bence.
