Ingredients 1 ingredient

  1. one tablespoon of milk

Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Oven and hot trays. Use dry oven gloves for trays and dishes: a hot tray looks just like a cold one. Open the oven door away from your face and let the first rush of heat out.

Method

  1. Line a buttered baking-dish with buttered bread crumbs or with cold mashed potatoes.
  2. Break the eggs in the dish without separating and add one tablespoon of milk or cream for each egg.
  3. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with grated cheese, if desired.
  4. Bake in a moderate oven until the eggs are set.
