Ingredients:

2     tablespoons   unsalted butter
2     teaspoons     unsalted butter
8                   eggs
4     teaspoons     heavy cream
1/4   cup           diced cooked bacon
1/4   cup           goat cheese (ch�vre)
                    = (or other cheese)
4     teaspoons     diagonally thinly-sliced scallions
                    Salt
                    Freshly-cracked five pepper blend
                    Toast

Directions: one line for each direction. When saved the lines will be numbered.

Preheat an oven to 350 degrees. Have a pot of boiling water ready.
Butter the bottoms and sides of four 5.4-fluid-ounce Apilco ramekins with the 2 tablespoons butter. Put 1/2 teaspoon butter in the bottom of each one. Break 2 eggs into each ramekin, then top each with 1 teaspoon cream, one-fourth of the bacon and cheese, and 1 teaspoon scallions. Season with salt and pepper. Cover the ramekins tightly with aluminum foil.
Place the ramekins in a baking dish and add boiling water to fill the pan halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake until the whites are just set and the yolks are runny, 18 to 22 minutes; for set whites and hard yolks, bake for 22 to 30 minutes.
Remove the ramekins from the baking dish and remove the foil. Serve immediately with toast.
This recipe yields 4 servings.
Comments: A gentle cooking technique, coddling produces soft-cooked eggs. They can be prepared simply, seasoned with salt and pepper, or embellished with cooked diced bacon or ham, cheese, and chopped scallions or fresh herbs, as we've done in this recipe. A bit of cream enriches the dish.
