These baked eggs would be delicious served with buttered toast or brioche. Try adding a splash of chilli oil or sprinkle over a few of your favourite chopped herbs once baked.
1. Generously butter ramekins. Break one egg into each dish. Season well.
2. Add a splash of single cream to each dish.
3. Put ramekins in a small roasting tray. Pour enough hot water to come about halfway up the side of the ramekins.
4. Bake at 190°C (170°C fan) mark 5 for 15min for a soft egg or 18-20min for a slightly firmer set.

All Our Favourite Egg Recipes
An experienced and highly skilled team of food writers, stylists and digital content producers, the Good Housekeeping Cookery Team is a close-knit squad of food obsessives. Cookery Editor Emma Franklin is our resident chilli obsessive and barbecue expert, who spends an inordinate amount of time on holidays poking round the local supermarkets seeking out new and exciting foods. Senior Cookery Writer Alice Shields is a former pastry chef and baking fanatic who loves making bread and would have peanut butter with everything if she could. Her favourite carb is pasta, and our vibrant green spaghetti is her weeknight go-to. Lover of all things savoury, Senior Cookery Writer Grace Evans can be found eating crispy corn and nocellara olives at every opportunity, and will take the cheeseboard over dessert any time (though she cannot resist a slice of tres leches cake). With a wealth of professional kitchen know-how, culinary training and years of experience between them, they are all dedicated to ensuring every Good Housekeeping recipe is the best it can be, so you can trust they’ll work (and if they don’t – we’ll have the answer for why*) every time (*90% of the time the answer is: “buy an separate oven thermometer”!).
