Step 6
Bake in the oven for around 20 minutes until the egg white is set.

Serve immediately.
Step 8
Note: This is not absolutely needed, but for a better taste => increase the amount of cream about the half and make it reduce in a small pan on small fire, with salt and pepper.
Use this reduced cream instead of usual cream in stage 8.

Remarks
The method above adds the egg in two stages to ensure that the white is cooked (set) and the yolk stays soft. This is the most difficult aspect of eggs en cocotte.
Keeping: A few minutes once cooked.
Source: Home made.
