Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Butter the insides of four 4-ounce ramekins.
In each ramekin, layer about 1 ounce of smoked salmon.
Add about 1 tablespoon of crème fraîche followed by a teaspoon of fresh dill into each ramekin.
Crack one egg into each ramekin and drizzle about 1 tablespoon of heavy cream over each egg. Season with salt and pepper.
Place the ramekins in a baking dish. Pour boiling water into the dish until it reaches three-quarters up the sides of the ramekins.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until egg whites are set and yolks are still runny.
Remove ramekins from water bath, allow to cool slightly, and serve immediately.
