How to make it

  • Wash and peel the potato and cut it into chunks. Place the potato in a pot of water, bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, about 12 minutes.
  • Drain the potato, then put in a medium-sized bowl. Mash the potato, adding butter and a little bit of cream (about 1 T) until you get the right consistency. Season with salt and pepper and add a little bit of cheese (about a 1/4 cup).
  • Mix well.
  • Spray 3 10-oz. ramekins (standard size) with cooking spray and dive the potato mixture between them, pushing down with the back of the spoon so that you create a well in the bottom.
  • Next you can simply crack one egg into each well and top with cheese or you may beat each egg with a bit of cream and add the cheese to the beaten mixture, then pour it into the ramekins. My kids prefer the texture of the egg when it's beaten, although I like the traditional baked eggs.
  • Place the ramekins in a pan or on a cookie sheet and bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for about 25 minutes or until the eggs are set.
  • BEWARE: If you beat the eggs, cream and cheese instead of just plopping in a while egg, the mixture will puff up when it cooks. This is why setting the ramekins in a pan or on a sheet helps.

    Ethoits, yes we are fans of eggs cooked all the way through in this house. My SIL who likes her eggs sunny-side up always shudders at our over-hard eggs. I don't mind a softer baked egg, but my kids would rise up in rebellion. :)

    This was yummy and satisfying! I baked it a bit less to keep the egg soft, as that's how I like my eggs. It's nice to have something simple and delicious to whip up pre-coffee in the morning - no need to think too much!
