Cheesy Baked Egg

Directions

1. 1
   Heat the oven (350F/180C/Gas 4). Grease an ovenproof dish well with some butter.
2. 2
   Grate the cheese and cover the base of the dish with half of the cheese. Break the eggs, one at a time, into a cup, then slide them carefully on top the cheese. Season well with the salt and pepper, and cover the eggs completely with the rest of the cheese.
3. 3
   Dot with the butter and bake in a hot oven for about 15 minutes, until the cheese is bubbling and the eggs are just set. Serve at once, with crusty French bread, roll, or crisp toast, or a salad.
