Eggs to make for someone you love

Baked eggs are so easy and so good. All you need to do is crack an egg into a buttered ramekin and bake at 350° until the whites are set. Don't over bake them - you want the yolks to be nice and runny. Eat them with good buttered toast.
  
Some of my favourite ways to bake eggs:
  • Add a bit of cream to each ramekin and a slice of tomato. Crack your egg over top and add salt, pepper, and some aged cheddar. Bake.
  • Crack your egg over a nest of beet greens (blanche them or quickly sauté them with a bit of garlic. Or wild ramps (garlic) if they're in season). Cover your egg with caramelized shallots and fresh parmesan. Bake. 
  • Crack your egg over some heavy cream mixed with chipotle peppers (I used canned chipotles packed in adobo sauce). Bake. Smoky and delicious.
  •  Add a tablespoon or two of home made tomatoes sauce to each ramekin and crack eggs over top. Add some of your favourite cheese and bake.
  • Cream, egg, pesto, bake. 
The best eggs in the world come from these gals:
