How to Make Steamed Eggs

  1. Lightly grease a small oven-safe skillet (about 6-inch diameter) with 1 teaspoon of oil or butter.
  2. Crack 2 large eggs directly into the skillet. Gently season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  3. Add 1/4 cup of water to the skillet.
  4. Carefully place the skillet in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C). Cover tightly with a lid or aluminum foil.
  5. Steam for 6-8 minutes for medium-cooked eggs, adjusting the time depending on your desired doneness. For softer yolks, reduce the cooking time; for firmer yolks, increase it slightly.
  6. Once cooked, carefully remove the skillet from the oven. Gently sprinkle with 1-2 tablespoons of your favorite shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, etc.)
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy!
