Step-by-step guide to making this recipe
1
Butter a shirred egg dish (a small casserole or custard dish).
2
Put the dish on a low heat to melt the butter, or just add 2–3 tsp cream.
3
Break an egg in the dish over the cream and season with salt and pepper.
4
Optionally, sprinkle with shredded cheese and/or bread crumbs.
5
Bake in the oven at 375°F long enough to set the whites of the eggs. Alternatively, cook by placing the dish directly on low heat.
6
Serve in the same dish.
