MC,
Isn't it true that creme fraiche is a live culture, and therefore you can make more by using a little of the old batch, new cream, and a nice warm environment?

Lovely stuff.

@VDog, thanks! @JanKnitz, I bet it was delicious!

Mmmmmm!

I had some leftover challah dough Thursday night so I made a little roll just the right size for this. No creme fraiche or chives around, but it was yummy just with an egg, a bit of parmesean, salt and pepper.

I'll have to whip up a batch of less sweet dough and make rolls to save just for this purpose. Yum!

This is SO COOL!!!

A great Idea. Thats a great alternative for eggs for breakfast! Or a delicious snack for lunch or ...
Serrated blades are often recommended in german bread baking forums but I preferr to use a so called "Bäckerklinge" a small, curved steel knife.

@chouette22, thank you! Do try it, it's worth it. Also, as Laura pointed out in her comment, these baked eggs make a perfect breakfast.
@Susan, thank you!
@Mimi, thank you! The fun part if that this little dish offers endless possibilities: you can put in over the cream pieces of cooked bacon or Italian sausage, or a spoonful of chunky tomato sauce or, for a special treat, pieces of lox with fresh dill, etc...

Oh my!! More pretty bread shapes AND a great idea on how to cook eggs!

What a great idea!

Oh, what a fabulous and incredibly creative idea! And the pictures are just gorgeous, as usual. Next time I am baking sourdough bread, I'll make some rolls to give this a try.

Laura, you are so right! It IS the ultimate breakfast. I do not tend to think of eggs for breakfast (I am still very French that way) but it is hard to dream up a more comforting way to start the day than these little egg-stuffed rolls. I recently invested in a baker's lame - which I bought from SFBI. Before that I used a cutter but a lame is easier. On the other hand, our German Breads teacher told us that in Germany, they only use pointy serrated knifes. So I guess, whatever works rules!

This is the ultimate breakfast! I love the shapes of your bread, I need to invest in a blade, I normally use a sharp bread knife but it doesn't work for small cuts. Thanks for the idea!
