This is more of a idea of what you could do for breakfast/brunch as opposed to an exact recipe (we all know I’m not too fond of those). One morning I opened the ice box to see what tasty concoction I could throw together to get the day started off right. In it I found some potatoes, sausage, eggs and cheese. I also had these ramekins I bought and was looking for a good way to break them in. Ta-Da! And there you have the inspiration for this meal. (I think the French name for this is “Oeufs en Cocotte” in case you were wondering.) You can mix and match whatever ingredients you want to throw in your breakfast ramekins, but all of them (aside from the egg) should already be cooked. Top it was an egg and some shredded cheese, and then bake in a 400 degree oven. I don’t really remember exactly how long to cook it for (I actually left mine in for a little bit too long…), but the idea is for the white to be set while the yolk is still runny. I think I put my ramekins in for around 12 minutes, so let’s shoot for less than that and say 8-10 minutes. Top with a little chopped parsley and enjoy with a (few) mimosa(s).
