Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 4 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- 1 tablespoon fresh herbs like parsley or chives (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease the inside of two 6-ounce ramekins or oven-safe bowls with butter to prevent the eggs from sticking.
Crack 2 eggs into each ramekin, being careful not to break the yolks.
Pour 2 tablespoons of heavy cream over the eggs in each ramekin.
Sprinkle each ramekin with a pinch of salt, a pinch of black pepper, and 1 tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese if using.
Place the ramekins on a baking dish or sheet for easier handling.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain runny. If you prefer fully cooked yolks, bake for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Carefully remove the ramekins from the oven and let them cool for 1-2 minutes.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives if desired and serve immediately with toast or a side of your choice.
