I used a half recipe of eggs, and all the other ingredients. Delicious. However, 20 minutes at 325 wasn’t quite long enough, and 25 minutes was too long. Perhaps 350 for 20 minutes? And try mixing the shredded cheese with the cream mixture, and breaking the eggs over the top. Also, maybe baking in individual custard cups would work better. Difficult to serve. But still, delicious!

delicious and easy

These are very good. I did not have dry mustard so I used good Dijon mustard. Since I made it for two, about 1/2 tsp should be enough. Reduce the salt since good Dijon is a bit salty on its own already. For any meal time of this day, this fits the bill! Will absolutely make it again!

We really enjoyed this, thought it was very tasty. There are just the two of us, too, I used individual ramekins, adjusting the recipe accordingly. Worked well, be sure to watch bake time, it will be much less.

Tthis is absolutely delicious! I knocked a star off because the amount of salt listed is too much. I only used a 1/2 tsp, and it was still fairly salty. Next time, I’ll leave the salt out entirely and add it to taste after baking. The bake time of 20 minutes was perfect for runny yolks, but I went to 25 minutes for a slightly firmer yolk, as is my preference. I recommend a good sharp cheddar–as that adds a ton of flavor–and some chopped parsley added at the end doesn’t hurt either. This was so easy to make, nice and cheesy, and a perfect breakfast alongside some toast and tomatoes! I will definitely be making this frequently! Thank you!
