"Shirred" eggs are also known as baked eggs, or in French, ouefs en cocotte. The name comes from the dish in which the eggs are cooked. The eggs are placed in ramekins with a knob of butter on top and baked at 350 degrees until the white is set, but the yolk remains soft, which takes around 15 minutes. Variations involve replacing the butter with various types of cream.
