Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup whole milk
1 bay leaf
14 ounces Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled, cut into 1-inch pieces
1/4 cup finely chopped shallots
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter
1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
6 large eggs
6 tablespoons whipping cream
6 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Butter six 3/4-cup ramekins. Bring milk and bay leaf to simmer in small saucepan. Remove from heat. Cover; let steep 15 minutes. Discard bay leaf.
  • Meanwhile, cook potatoes in medium saucepan of boiling salted water until very tender, about 15 minutes. Drain. Place potatoes in medium bowl. Add warm milk, shallots, butter, rosemary, and thyme; mash until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Divide potato mixture among ramekins. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before continuing.)
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Carefully crack 1 egg over potatoes in each ramekin. Spoon 1 tablespoon cream over each egg. Sprinkle each with 1 tablespoon Parmesan. Place ramekins in 13x9x2-inch metal baking pan. Pour enough hot water into baking pan to come halfway up sides of ramekins. Bake until egg whites are gently set but yolks are still soft, about 17 minutes. Remove ramekins from baking pan. Sprinkle chives over and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh eggs for the best flavor and texture.
  • Gently whisk the eggs and milk together to avoid creating air bubbles.
  • Season the eggs with salt, pepper, and any other desired herbs or spices.
  • Use a deep teacup or ramekin to ensure that the eggs have enough room to rise.
  • Cover the teacups or ramekins with plastic wrap or aluminum foil to prevent the eggs from drying out.
  • Place the teacups or ramekins in a preheated water bath and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set.
  • Serve the coddled eggs immediately with toast, crackers, or a side salad.
