It's not yet. I may try again.

Missed that .

Its difficult to get eggs right in the oven.

Its difficult to get eggs right in the oven.

That’s so true, and no recipe ever acknowledges that. I had a complex for years over baking eggs because the recipe would give an amount of time and never warn about how, in 15 seconds, they can go from perfect to hard-cooked.

I seriously overcooked the eggs the first time I made Shakshouka. I no longer use the oven for that. Just the stovetop and a glass lid.

I think the first time I did that, I was amazed at how an egg could look soft-cooked, but be hard-cooked all the way through.

Yup. The exact same thing happened to me. The eggs looked perfect, but the yolks were hard and dry.

There was a basic problem from the start. The muffin/bun tins weren't big enough for the ingredients. Chicken eggs would have been better but I didn't have any. To add to that, one of the yolks broke when I was decanting it into the ham cup and then the eggs became overcooked. I used the halogen oven for the two stages (melting the cheese and solidifying the egg white) so I could keep mt eye on them during the processes but I failed.

Next time I shall use ramekins which are larger and should work better. I may even try cooking the eggs in two stages, first the white then add the yolk later. I can see me using a lot of eggs and ham before I get this right.

Yorkshire pudding ramekins.

This is dedicated egg cookery!

I had another go today. Using a ramekin but only one. I have plenty of eggs but running short of ham. Better than the previous effort but still not right.
