Preparation

Step 1

Butter 4 egg coddlers and place 1 tsp. butter in the bottom of each one. Break 2 eggs into each coddler. Top each with 1 tsp. cream and 2 Tbs. cheese, ham, bacon, green onions or herbs. Screw on the lids and refrigerate the coddlers overnight.

Preheat an oven to 350°F.

Place the coddlers in a baking dish and pour in hot water to come halfway up the sides of the coddlers. Bake until the whites are just set and the yolks are runny, 25 to 30 minutes, or until done to your liking.

Using an oven mitt, remove the coddlers from the baking dish. Remove the lids and serve the eggs immediately in the coddlers.
