Do you need a water bath? Or just in the oven on a reg cookie sheet

Super easy and yummy. I think my ramekin was an inch to large so next time I'll use a smaller one as to have the eggs come just perfect. Used Dubliner Cheese - Home run!

We really liked this dish. I cooked it a tad too long and the yolks were more at soft boil stage, which is a little more done than I prefer. My boyfriend loved this and so did I. It was substantial without being too much. Excellent cheesy flavor. I'll be having this one again.

As simple as this recipe is, it is going straight into my "best of the best" file. I enjoyed this as I was watching the royal wedding this morning. These eggs are absolutely delicious!! I even used vegan cheese (Daiya) and it still turned out amazing. I scaled the recipe back and only used 3 eggs. I think this is worth going out to buy ramekins so I could make these eggs for overnight company next time. Simple, easy and delicious. Thank you!

This made a great light supper! I cut it down to serve one and used a combination of white cheddar and Darby Sage cheese. Delicious! (And EASY!!!)
