Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 50 grams Grated Parmesan cheese
- 60 ml Heavy cream
- 15 grams Unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).
Lightly grease two small oven-safe ramekins with the unsalted butter, ensuring the butter coats the bottom and sides evenly.
Crack 2 eggs into each ramekin, being careful not to break the yolks.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of heavy cream over the eggs in each ramekin.
Sprinkle an even layer of grated Parmesan cheese over the eggs, dividing it equally between the two ramekins.
Season each ramekin with a pinch of salt and ground black pepper to taste.
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet to make handling easier, and transfer them to the preheated oven.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny. Adjust cooking time if you prefer firmer yolks.
Carefully remove the ramekins from the oven and let them cool for a minute.
Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and added flavor before serving. Serve hot with toasted bread or a fresh side salad.
