So I was inspired by your egg cook-off, and hungry, and working from home today, so I decided to try my own eggs en cocotte! I used cippolini onions, bell peppers and oregano, and gruyere cheese for the top. Since my toaster oven has a broiler setting, I browned the cheese, but I should have cleaned off the edges of my dish because it looks a little messy. Also, sadly, I broke my yolks. I almost challenged my fear of runny eggs by leaving them whole, but then realized I did not have any bread to soak up the liquid chicken juice, so I went ahead and cooked them firm. I think next time I will be more adventurous with the yolks, but overall, yummy!

oohhh, well done! That looks great and I think the breaking of the yokes might be a good idea. I think i’ll try that next time.
