Recipe based on How to Cook Everything, 10th ann. edition
Butter or oil for cups/pan
Eggs
Grated cheese
salt and pepper
Grease bottom of custard cups (1 per egg) or bottoms and sides of muffin tin cups (this is a terrific alternative when you're baking lots of eggs at once, but you must cook all eggs to the same level of doneness; if the eaters all want a different level of doneness, use individual cups you can remove one at a time). Crack one egg into each cup. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Sprinkle a small amount of grated cheese on top. Bake for 10-15 minutes, depending on your preferred yolk texture. Warning: the eggs will not only look underdone on the top but be more cooked near the bottom, they will also cook a bit more when you take them out of the oven. Ours usually end up with a medium-boiled egg texture even though I like them softer.
If using individual ramekins or cups, give one to each person. If using a muffin tin, slide a knife around edge of each egg and then slide the egg onto a plate (this is pretty easy to do).
Serves however many you like!
