Ingredients
  

  • 2 pieces fresh eggs preferably organic or farm-fresh
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for greasing ramekin
  • 2 tablespoons grated cheese cheddar, Gruyère, or your favorite
  • 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes halved, or your seasonal vegetable
  • 1 tablespoon fresh herbs chopped parsley or chives
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika optional, for depth of flavor
  • to taste salt and pepper for seasoning

Equipment

  • Oven-safe ramekin
  • Baking sheet
  • Small spatula or spoon
  • Oven mitts

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease each ramekin with olive oil to prevent sticking, and place them on a baking sheet for stability.
  2. Crack two eggs gently into each ramekin, being careful to keep the yolks intact and centered. Slightly tilt the ramekin if needed to position the yolk in the middle.
  3. Sprinkle a pinch of salt, pepper, and smoked paprika over each egg for flavor. Add a small spoonful of grated cheese on top, along with halved cherry tomatoes or your chosen vegetables.
  4. Place the ramekins on the baking sheet and transfer to the preheated oven. Bake for about 12-15 minutes, until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny or slightly thickened, depending on your preference.
  5. Once baked, carefully remove the ramekins from the oven using oven mitts. Let sit for a minute to settle, then sprinkle with chopped fresh herbs for a burst of color and freshness.
  6. Serve the baked eggs immediately, directly in the ramekin or slide onto a plate. Enjoy the tender whites, runny yolk, and melty cheese, creating a warm, customizable brunch experience.
