How to Make Oeufs En Cocotte La Suisse

  1. Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
  2. Grease four ramekins generously with butter and arrange them in a baking dish or roasting pan. Pour enough hot water into the pan to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins (this creates a bain-marie for even cooking).
  3. Carefully crack two large eggs into each ramekin, ensuring the yolks remain intact.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 100ml heavy cream and 50g grated Gruyère cheese until smooth.
  5. Evenly divide the cream and cheese mixture among the four ramekins, gently pouring it over the eggs.
  6. Sprinkle a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper over each serving.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are still slightly runny. Cooking time may vary depending on your oven; start checking at 6 minutes.
  8. Carefully remove the ramekins from the baking dish and let them cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs (optional).
