"Very easy egg dish that doesn't require much work. They come out creamy. I like to eat them on toast with salsa. I usually put a dash of hot sauce on the eggs, but thats how I like my eggs."

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Line a deep skillet with 2 layers of paper towels and fill with 1 to 2 inches of water, bring to a boil.

Step 2

Break one egg into each buttered ramekin and season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour 2 tsp of heavy cream around each unbroken egg yolk.

Step 3

Sprinkle with 2 teaspoons grated cheese.

Step 4

Place all 4 ramekins in skillet and turn down heat so water is simmering. Cover and steam eggs for 4-6 minutes or until whites are set. If you like runny yolks, serve now. If you like yolks cooked longer, then continue to steam a little longer.

Step 5

Garnish with your favorite toppings. I serve on toast if I am not low carbing and if I am, I just enjoy as is. (salsa, crumbled bacon, etc...)

I just had to make your recipe because it takes me back to my childhood. Easy instructions to follow. I did have a problem I couldn't find my ramekins so I had to improvise. I used a baked custard dish but it was too high for any skillet so I used a saucepan. I had to put 2 eggs in one dish. All was fine until I had to get the dish out of the water. I managed but it was a struggle. I enjoyed my brunch Thanks Dissie for a childhood memory. 25 Aug 13 Made again but this time I mastered it. Because there were 2 eggs in one dish they took 6 minutes- Your instructions are very clear. Love the parmesan cheese in they. Thanks again Dissie
