Step-by-Step Instructions for French Baked Eggs

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Boil water in a kettle for the water bath and prepare ramekins.
Generously butter the insides of each ramekin and set aside.
Evenly distribute the crème fraîche, heavy cream, or yogurt among the buttered ramekins.
Carefully crack one egg into each ramekin.
Sprinkle fresh goat cheese, chopped herbs, sea salt, and black pepper over the eggs.
Place the ramekins in a baking dish and fill with hot water halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
Bake for 14-16 minutes for runny yolks or 16-18 minutes for creamier yolks.
Carefully remove ramekins from the oven, let cool, and serve immediately with toasted bread.
