ChefXi OfficialElegant brunch-worthy egg cups with smoked salmon, cream cheese, and fresh dill. Impressive to serve, easy to make.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease 4 cups of a muffin tin.
Line each cup with smoked salmon slices, pressing to create a cup shape.
Overlap the salmon slices so there are no gaps — this prevents the egg from leaking through.
Drop a few cubes of cream cheese into each salmon cup.
Crack one egg into each cup. Season with pepper.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until whites are set but yolks are still slightly soft.
For firmer yolks, bake an extra 2-3 minutes. Every oven varies, so check at 12 minutes.
Top with fresh dill and capers. Serve warm.
Don't overbake — yolks should be just barely set for the creamiest texture.
