Savory Mountain Comfort: Eggs Cocotte with Reblochon and Crispy Bacon

ADVERTISEMENT

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

In a pan over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until just crispy. Drain on paper towels and roughly chop.

Prepare the Ramekins:

Lightly butter four small ramekins.

Place a tablespoon of crème fraîche at the bottom of each ramekin.

Add a few pieces of Reblochon and a sprinkle of chopped bacon.

Add the Eggs:

Crack one egg into each ramekin, taking care not to break the yolk.

Top with more Reblochon and a little more bacon if desired.

Season lightly with salt and pepper.

Bake:

Place the ramekins in a baking dish and pour hot water into the dish to reach halfway up the sides of the ramekins (creating a bain-marie).

Bake for 10–12 minutes for soft-set yolks or slightly longer if you prefer them firmer.

Serve:

Garnish with freshly chopped chives and serve immediately with toasted bread or a simple green salad.
