Preparation
Step 1
Prepare the ingredients. This recipe makes 1 serving with 1 egg. Coarse sea salt and freshly ground black pepper work particularly well. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Step 2
Choose a suitable oven-safe dish. A small cast-iron frying pan or individual baking dish is convenient for 1 egg. For several eggs, use a larger frying pan, baking dish or baking sheet. Grease the dish thoroughly with butter. Vegetable oil can also be used, but butter will give the egg a richer flavor.
Step 3
Crack the egg into the prepared dish.
Step 4
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 7–10 minutes. The exact time will depend on the number of eggs, the size and material of the dish and your oven. The white should be completely set while the yolk remains soft and yellow. Avoid baking for too long, or the yolk will become firm.
Step 5
Remove the egg from the oven. Season immediately with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Serve hot.
