SUNDAY MORNING BAKED EGGS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3 and bring a kettleful of water to the boil. Pour 1 tbsp oil into 4 shallow ramekins and crack 2 eggs into each. Season with sea salt and coarse black pepper, sprinkle with the tarragon and cheese, then spoon over the cream.
• Set the ramekins in a roasting tin, then quarter-fill the tin with water from the kettle. Carefully transfer to the oven and bake for 6-8 mins or until the egg whites are softly set and the yolks are runny. Serve immediately with the watercress on the side and Brummie bacon cakes (see 'Goes well with', right), toast, or gluten-free alternative.

EGG BAKED IN CREAM

Steps:

• Set a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees. In a small sauté pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the leeks, a splash of water and a pinch of salt and cook until the leeks are tender, about 2 minutes. Add the herbs and transfer to a 6-inch cazuela, cocotte or other ceramic dish, covering the bottom with the butter, leeks and herbs.
• Crack the egg into the middle of the dish. Add enough half-and-half to barely cover the white. Sprinkle with salt and coarsely ground pepper. Cook until the white is set, 8 to 12 minutes. Serve with grilled or toasted bread.

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees with a rack in top third. Generously butter four 1/2-cup ramekins; add 1 tablespoon greens to each. Break an egg into each ramekin, then top each with another 1 tablespoon greens. Drizzle each with 1 teaspoon cream; season with salt and pepper. Transfer ramekins to a rimmed baking sheet.
• Place sheet on rack and bake until whites are just set and eggs are still soft in centers, 12 to 15 minutes (start checking at 12, as they tend to cook at different rates). Serve immediately.

CREAMY BAKED EGGS

Steps:

• Make sauce first. Can be made in the microwave if you wish.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in saucepan and add the flour.
• Whisk together till smooth, and fry gently for a few minutes which will remove the raw taste of the flour. Do not brown the roux.
• Add the milk while whisking to avoid lumps, and cook the mixture till thickened. This will make a thin sauce.
• Off heat, add the grated cheese, and whisk till it melts.
• Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Beat the eggs in a bowl to combine.
• Saute the green onion in 2 tablespoons butter to soften.
• Add beaten eggs and bacon.
• Fry-scramble, and remove from pan while they are still quite soft (nearly set), and combine with the sauce.
• Stir together, and place in a buttered 11x7 inch baking dish.
• Butter the bread.
• Whirl in a food processor to make buttered crumbs.
• Sprinkle on top of the sauced eggs.
• Can refrigerate, covered, overnight for baking the next morning.

BAKED EGGS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Generously brush 4 shallow (6-inch) gratin dishes, ramekins, or small oven-proof skillets with unsalted butter. Add 1 teaspoon heavy cream and crack 2 eggs into each; season with salt and pepper.
• Sprinkle each dish with desired toppings and transfer to a rimmed baking sheet; bake until whites are just set and yolks are still soft, 9 to 11 minutes. Serve with English muffins or toast.

PEPPERY, CREAMY GREENS WITH EGGS

Steps:

• Using a fork, mix cream and 1 tsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt in a small bowl or a 2-cup measuring glass until salt is dissolved, then stir in broth. Set aside.
• Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet with a lid over medium. Add onion, garlic, and 1 tsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt and stir in the salt well with a wooden spoon (this will help onion release it's moisture, making sure it cooks but doesn't brown). Cook, stirring often, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Add 1 Tbsp. water to pan followed by half of greens, stirring well (you want to get some of the greens in direct contact with the bottom of the pan). Cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted, about 3 minutes. Mix in remaining greens and cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted, about 3 minutes.
• Reduce heat to low and pour half of reserved cream mixture over greens mixture. Using wooden spoon, make 4 wells in greens mixture, spacing evenly apart. Crack an egg into each well and pour remaining cream mix over eggs. Cover pan with lid and increase heat to medium-low. Cook until eggs whites are almost entirely opaque but yolks are still runny, about 5 minutes. Remove pan from heat and let sit, still covered, until whites are completely cooked, about 2 minutes. (If the bottoms of the eggs seem to be cooking faster than the tops, just turn off the heat, keep the lid on, and cook the tops with the residual heat. If you want more firm egg yolks, just simmer or keep the lid on for a little longer.)
• Sprinkle with sea salt and pepper and drizzle generously with oil over the top. Serve with toast.
