• 3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream, or as needed
• 1 slice smoked salmon, cut into strips
• 1 pinch chopped fresh dill

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Step 2

Fill a small ramekin a third of the way with heavy cream. Add smoked salmon strips and egg white. Season with salt and pepper. Place ramekin into a casserole dish and pour enough boiling water into the casserole dish so it reaches about halfway up the ramekin.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until egg white is just set, about 10 minutes.

Step 4

Remove casserole dish from the oven and carefully slide egg yolk into ramekin. Sprinkle with dill and bake until egg yolk is hot but still runny, 1 to 2 minutes.
