I don't know if this a good one but it a standard here in the South. Not a recipe, but a general rule of thumb. Per each ramekin, two tablespoons butter, two eggs, two tablespoons heavy cream. Add in the order listed. 350 oven for about 10 minutes. Add your favorite grated cheese and cook about 1 minute longer or until cheese is melted. Ovens vary, so meke sure you test it before a party.

Lots and lots of recipes online aka baked eggs...Emeril and Ina Garten have recipes for sure.

Here is another idea that I just came across... Egg meets cup-cake tin sure looks delish.

Forgot another favorite of mine... Mark Bittman. Here is his [color:"blue"]Recipe: Baked Egg With Prosciutto and Tomato[/color]

Butter or oil as needed

1 slice tomato

1 small slice prosciutto

1 egg

Salt and freshly ground black pepper.


1. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Smear a bit of butter or oil in ramekin; line with tomato and prosciutto. Break egg into ramekin, then put on a baking sheet.

2. Bake 10 to 15 minutes, or until egg is set and white has solidified. Because the cup retains heat, egg will continue to cook after you remove it from the oven, so it is best to undercook it slightly. Precise time, in a good oven on a middle rack, is 12 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve.

Yield: 1 serving.

Variations: You could put chopped cooked spinach or cooked asparagus in bottom of cup, with a little cream. Or place the egg on a bed of chopped ham, bacon or sausage. Sprinkle with Parmesan if you like. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
