Ingredients

• 4 pieces Large eggs
• 4 tablespoons Heavy cream
• 100 grams Smoked salmon
• 50 grams Gruyère cheese
• 1 teaspoon Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Fresh dill (chopped)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 slices Crusty bread or toast (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Lightly grease two individual ramekins with the unsalted butter.

Step 3

Divide the smoked salmon evenly between the two ramekins, layering it on the bottom.

Step 4

Crack two eggs into each ramekin, being careful not to break the yolks.

Step 5

Drizzle 2 tablespoons of heavy cream over the eggs in each ramekin.

Step 6

Sprinkle grated Gruyère cheese evenly over the top of each ramekin.

Step 7

Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper, being mindful that smoked salmon is naturally salty.

Step 8

Place the ramekins on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the whites are just set but the yolks remain runny.

Step 9

Carefully remove the ramekins from the oven and let them cool slightly for 1-2 minutes.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped dill before serving.

Step 11

Serve immediately with slices of crusty bread or toast, if desired.
