Baked eggs make for the most effortless breakfast; the oven does all of the work, and once you get familiar with your oven settings, you’re guaranteed perfect eggs every time. Play around with finding the perfect spot to place your ramekins in the oven so they don’t overcook. Remove the eggs from the oven once the whites are just set but the yolks are still runny- the eggs will continue to cook in the hot ramekin.
This morning, I’ve popped some smoked salmon over my baked eggs, and added a generous handful of fresh dill and spring onions and a big squeeze of lemon. I’ve used full cream milk to add a bit of creaminess to the eggs, but if you’re after something a little richer, use creme fraiche instead. Be sure to have some crusty bread on hand, you’ll want to mop up every last bit.
