Shirred Eggs (Baked Eggs in Cream)
Serves 1
Shirred eggs are an elegant yet effortless way to enjoy perfectly baked eggs. Named after the traditional flat-bottomed dish they’re cooked in—also known as a shirrer or ramekin—these individual portions are as ideal for a solo breakfast as they are for entertaining a crowd. You can bake them in the oven or in an air fryer.
