Pour into prepared egg coddlers after adding a pinch of shredded cheese and a teaspoon of diced ham or crumbled bacon to each coddler.
Twist lids on and transfer to water.
If you spray the inside and lid with cooking spray, they will clean up much faster. Boil at least 10 minutes for small coddlers and 15 minutes for the double size. Less time is needed for fewer coddlers in a pot. Individually, five minutes will produce the equivalent of a three minute egg. Boil as with the regular omelet recipe.
