Making a Margaret-worthy egg dish

Susan Lucas

The Silver Lake Lodge, called The Highest B&B (in Colorado? The U.S.? The World?). Proprietors Andrew and Margaret Wal make every day delicious and memorable. The up-the-mountain switchback setting easily serves as home base for a quiet, lovely stay close to enough to the Denver Airport to make a last minute getaway a good idea. Breakfast, included with your room, is delicious and involves fruits, vegetables, sweet and savory flavors. Almost every morning a very Euro egg dish (Eggs en Cocotte) is baked to perfection in an individual ramekin and brought to the table hot, fragrant and pretty. For us these will be referred to as Margaret’s egg dishes and after picking up ramekins from Amazon, they’re mine too.
