Prepare your favorite cheese sauce (see notes for a basic recipe).
Pour half of the cheese sauce into an oven-safe baking dish (approximately 8x8 inches).
Carefully crack 4-6 large eggs into the cheese sauce, spacing them evenly.
Pour the remaining cheese sauce over the eggs, ensuring they are mostly covered.
Bake for 15-25 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your desired doneness. For runny yolks, bake for a shorter time; for fully cooked eggs, bake for a longer time.
