How to Tell It's Done
- until the whites are set and the yolks still soft
Tips
- Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
- The eggs keep cooking in the hot dish after they come out of the oven: take them out when the whites are set and the yolks still wobble in the center.
Common Mistakes
- Check by the cue (until…), not just the clock: every oven bakes a little differently.
More Ways
- On a base of fried greens (onion, garlic and spinach) in a baking dish, make wells, crack an egg into each, pour cream around and bake at 180°C (355°F) about 15 minutes.
