As a general rule, the eggs are cooked for about ten minutes in the oven at 200°C in a bain-marie. But it is also possible, and even easier, to cook them in a steamer.

To note: It is normal for a thin white film to form on the yolk during cooking. This does not mean that the egg is overcooked as the yolk remains runny underneath.
3- Serve these eggs with baguette or country bread.
