Baked Eggs

Butter baking dish or platter, or individual ramekin dishes. Break each egg into a cup and drop into baking dish, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and bake in a moderate oven—five minutes for soft-cooked and ten for hard-cooked. Eggs are more delicately cooked if dish is placed in a pan of hot water in the oven, and water kept below the boiling point during cooking.

Chopped red or green pepper sprinkled over top of baked eggs is delicious.
