Oeufs Cocottes au Saumon (Baked Eggs with Smoked Salmon)
Description
Oeufs Cocottes with cream and smoked salmon are a delicious way to make eggs:. The eggs are baked in 2 stages in the oven so the yolks and whites are cooked to perfection.
Ingredients
•
3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream, or as needed
•
1 slice smoked salmon, cut into strips
•
1 egg, separated
•
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
•
1 pinch chopped fresh dill
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2
Fill a small ramekin a third of the way with heavy cream. Add smoked salmon strips and egg white. Season with salt and pepper. Place ramekin into a casserole dish and pour enough boiling water into the casserole dish so it reaches about halfway up the ramekin.
3
Bake in the preheated oven until egg white is just set, about 10 minutes.
4
Remove casserole dish from the oven and carefully slide egg yolk into ramekin. Sprinkle with dill and bake until egg yolk is hot but still runny, 1 to 2 minutes.
