Description
Ovens vary, so you may need to experiment a bit while cooking. Ideally, the cheese crust should be crispy when broken, and the yolks should flow and envelop the other ingredients. This is a very tasty and rich breakfast, with different textures and flavors.
Ingredients
- Chicken Egg - 2 pieces
- Sour Cream - 0.5 oz
- Asparagus - 1 stalk
- Ham - 0.5 oz
- Brie cheese - 0.4 oz
- Parmesan Cheese - 0.7 oz
- Scallions - 1 stalk
- Salt - to taste
- Ground Black Pepper - to taste
- Marinated cherries - 1 piece
Step by Step guide
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 320°F with convection or 356°F without and place a baking tray on the second shelf from the top. During cooking, the ramekins should be visible, with a distance of about 8–10 cm from the grill.
Step 2
Prepare a heatproof dish with boiling water, into which the filled ramekins will later be placed. Take the butter out of the refrigerator and let it warm up — this makes it easier to grease the ramekins. Some ingredients can be prepped: boil or steam the asparagus and then cut it into pieces, slice the ham or its equivalent (sausage, chorizo, bacon) and lightly fry it. Finely chop the green onion and grate the parmesan.
Step 3
Grease the inside of the ramekins with butter — the bottom and the edges.
Step 4
First, add sour cream to the ramekins — you can substitute it with cream if desired. Then add the vegetables. You can include sweet pepper or anything else from the fridge that pairs well with eggs. All the contents of the ramekins, except for the eggs, should be chopped finely enough to fit several pieces in one teaspoon.
Step 5
Crack one egg — be sure to keep the yolk intact. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 6
Add the brie cheese (or any other cheese to taste) and crack the second egg on top. If the ramekins are small and the eggs are large, you can use just one egg.
Step 7
Sprinkle with green onion and generously top with parmesan.
Step 8
Place the filled and ready-to-bake ramekins into the dish with boiling water, so that the ramekins are covered to half their height.
Step 9
Put the dish with the ramekins in the oven. Cook in two stages — first, bake the contents of the ramekins at 160–356°F for 15–18 minutes, then turn on the top grill at 200 degrees or higher and bake the top layer of parmesan until it forms an appetizing crust. The cooking time at this stage, including the time for the grill to heat up, is 3–5 minutes; watch the crust closely, as all your efforts will be in vain if it burns.
Step 10
Remove the dish with the ramekins from the oven, use oven mitts or tongs to take out the ramekins, place them on plates (you can place napkins underneath) and serve.
