Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 4 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 100 grams Smoked salmon
- 50 grams Gruyère cheese
- 1 teaspoon Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Fresh dill (chopped)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 slices Crusty bread or toast (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease two individual ramekins with the unsalted butter.
Divide the smoked salmon evenly between the two ramekins, layering it on the bottom.
Crack two eggs into each ramekin, being careful not to break the yolks.
Drizzle 2 tablespoons of heavy cream over the eggs in each ramekin.
Sprinkle grated Gruyère cheese evenly over the top of each ramekin.
Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper, being mindful that smoked salmon is naturally salty.
Place the ramekins on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the whites are just set but the yolks remain runny.
Carefully remove the ramekins from the oven and let them cool slightly for 1-2 minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped dill before serving.
Serve immediately with slices of crusty bread or toast, if desired.
