Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons heavy cream or milk
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup shredded cheese (optional, such as cheddar or gruyere)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (optional, such as parsley or chives)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease two 8-ounce ramekins with butter, ensuring even coverage to prevent sticking.
Crack two eggs into each ramekin while being careful not to break the yolks.
Pour 2 tablespoons of heavy cream or milk over the eggs in each ramekin.
Season each ramekin with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
If using, sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the top of the eggs.
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet for easy handling and transfer to the preheated oven.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the egg whites are just set and the yolks remain slightly runny. Adjust the baking time to your preferred yolk consistency.
Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the ramekins to cool slightly.
Garnish with fresh chopped herbs, if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy your delicious oven-baked eggs!
