My breakfast eggs are generally basted (steamed really if at a restaurant)
and I eat the whites separately, drain the yolks over my crispy cokked
potatoes then use the non-liquid part of the yolk and some crispy bacon
to turn the toast into a bacon & egg sandwich.
If I'm at home the basted eggs are really basted. With the grease from
frying the bacon. That's how I learned it from my father.
Here's a different take on hen fruit. I'll probably never make this but
Ihave eaten (and enjoyed) it more than once. One place uses shredded
Parm or Grana Padano (poor man's Parm) in place of the Swiss Ementhal
cheese. That's even better in my book.

Title: Shirred Eggs
Categories: Pork, Eggs, Cheese, Dairy, Vegetables
Yield: 4 servings
1 tb Unsalted butter
4 sl (thin) Virginia ham; 1/2 oz
- each
8 lg Eggs
Salt & fresh ground pepper
8 tb Heavy cream
8 tb Grated Ementhal (Swiss)
- cheese
2 ts Chopped parsley leaves
1 ts Chopped fresh chives
Recipe courtesy Emeril LaGasse
Set oven @ 375ºF/190ºC.
Butter 4 (6 oz) creme brulee ramekins with the butter
and lay 1 slice of ham in each ramekin so that it sits
flat on the bottom (it's ok if it comes up the sides.)
Crack 2 eggs into 2 separate small cups and pour
simultaneously into one of the ramekins so that the eggs
sit side by side on top of the ham slice. Season lightly
with salt & pepper. Repeat with remaining eggs. Place
the 4 filled ramekins onto a baking sheet and transfer
to the oven. Bake until eggs are just beginning to set
up and become opaque, 9 to 10 minutes.
Remove from the oven and drizzle each ramekin with 2
tablespoons of the heavy cream and then sprinkle 2
tablespoons of the cheese over the top of each. Sprinkle
the parsley and chives over the ramekins and then return
to the oven. Cook until eggs are just set up but yolks
are still runny, 10 to 12 minutes, or to desired degree
of doneness. Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
