Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 clove garlic
- 4 slices bread or toast
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place a rack in the middle of the oven.
Lightly grease two oven-safe ramekins or small baking dishes with 1 tablespoon of butter each.
Peel and finely mince the garlic clove. Divide it evenly between the two ramekins, spreading it on the bottom.
Crack 2 eggs into each prepared ramekin, being careful not to break the yolks.
Sprinkle the eggs with salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme leaves.
Pour 1/2 cup of heavy cream over the eggs in each ramekin, ensuring the yolks remain uncovered for an attractive presentation.
Sprinkle 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese over the cream in each ramekin.
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet to catch any drips. Carefully transfer the sheet to the preheated oven.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain soft. For firmer yolks, bake for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Once baked, remove the ramekins from the oven and let them cool for 2 minutes. Serve with slices of bread or toast for dipping.
