Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Place the ramekins on a baking sheet for easy handling and transfer to the preheated oven.
Step 8
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the egg whites are just set and the yolks remain slightly runny. Adjust the baking time to your preferred yolk consistency.
Step 9
Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the ramekins to cool slightly.
Step 10
Garnish with fresh chopped herbs, if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy your delicious oven-baked eggs!
