How to Make Baked Eggs Peking Style

  1. Rinse 1/2 cup of shelled shrimp thoroughly under cold water.
  2. Drain the shrimp completely in a fine-mesh sieve.
  3. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and finely chop them.
  4. Crack 4 large eggs into a medium bowl and beat them lightly with a whisk.
  5. Add 1/4 cup chicken stock, the chopped shrimp, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and 1 tablespoon dry sherry to the eggs.
  6. Gently whisk the egg mixture until everything is well combined.
  7. Lightly grease a small (approximately 6-inch) oven-safe casserole dish or ramekin with butter or cooking spray.
  8. Pour the egg mixture into the prepared casserole dish.
  9. Bake in a preheated 400°F (200°C) oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and lightly golden brown. Cooking time may vary depending on your oven.
  10. Let cool slightly before serving. Serve immediately for the best texture.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
