# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes fancy enough to impress but takes less time than scrambled eggs.
  • Everything cooks together on one pan, which means minimal cleanup and maximum time to enjoy your coffee.
  • You can customize it however you want, but even plain it's absolutely delicious.
02 -
  • The shells need to be slightly warmed before you fill them or they'll crack and splinter, so either run them under warm water or place them in the oven for a minute while you're whisking the eggs.
  • The difference between just-set and overcooked is maybe ninety seconds, so check at 16 minutes and don't walk away once you're close to the time.
03 -
  • If you're prepping these the night before, fill and refrigerate the pan and add maybe two extra minutes to the baking time since everything will be cold.
  • A drizzle of hot sauce mixed into the egg mixture before baking distributes the heat evenly and makes every bite interesting.
