Baked Eggs En Cocotte
My favorite meal of the day has got to be breakfast. In my personal opinion, it should be served throughout the day instead of being confined to morning times. There’s so much to choose from, sweet, savory, crunchy, soft, etc. These Baked Eggs En Cocotte are very easy to make and are perfect for entertaining or for breakfast in bed.
Cocotte sounds very fancy but in reality, it’s just a French word for a dish or container that can be baked in the oven and used for serving. It’s a great way to serve and cook eggs and excellent for entertaining since you don’t have to stand in front of the stove cooking them while your guests are enjoying the party.

I add bacon and cheese at the bottom of the ramekins for extra flavor and taste. Every spoonful will have delicious soft eggs, bacon, and Gruyere cheese.
Yum! You can add anything you want to yours. Veggies, meats, and cheeses. The possibilities are endless. These eggs are creamy, savory, and oh-so delicious. I add a splash of cream on top for extra richness.
If you want to surprise your loved one on a lazy morning, serve a tray with Baked Eggs En Cocotte, buttered toast, and some coffee. They will love you forever. I know I would.
My husband is away this weekend but I will make him a tray for next weekend. I can’t wait to see the look on his face when he tries them. He loves this kind of dish.
If you prefer, you can do a huge casserole full of eggs instead of individual servings. Just adjust your baking times accordingly. Choose from runny egg yolks, soft egg yolks, or firm yolks. I love the soft yolks mixed in with the cheese and bacon. Here’s how I do it:

I’m with you — it’s all about breakfast! This looks lovely, and I’m digging the thyme on top.
Thanks so much Danguole!!
Does the bacon need to be ore cooked before baking in the ramekin?
Yes Keri! Cook it before and crumble it into pieces inside the ramekins
