CHEF JOHN'S BAKED EGGS

If you enjoy huevos rancheros, you will love this. The way the spicy sauce mingles with just barely set eggs is very similar, and when you start scooping this up with toasted chunks of bread, it gets borderline magical.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

Nonstick cooking spray
4 large eggs
Kosher salt
4 slices buttered brioche toast, for serving

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment and coat with nonstick cooking spray.
Coat 4 small bowls with nonstick cooking spray. Separate the eggs and put the whites into a medium bowl and the yolks in the small bowls (1 yolk per bowl). Add a large pinch of salt to the egg whites and beat with an electric mixer on low speed until stiff peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes.
Dollop 4 large spoonfuls of the egg whites onto the prepared baking sheet and make a small well in the middle of each with the back of a spoon. Bake the whites until they are firm, no longer wet and just beginning to turn brown, about 6 minutes. Gently pour 1 yolk into the well of each white. Bake until the edges of the yolk just start to set while still being runny, 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt.
Serve on top of buttered brioche toast.
