Ingredients

Method

  1. Make a half pint of cream sauce.
  2. Put half of it in the bottom of a baking dish or into the bottom of ramekin dishes or individual cups.
  3. Break fresh eggs on top of the cream sauce, dust with a little salt and pepper, pour over the remaining cream sauce, sprinkle the top with grated cheese, and bake in a moderate oven until the cheese is browned and eggs are "set." Serve in the dish or dishes in which they are cooked.
