Ingredients
- 1/4 teaspoon unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons heavy cream
- 2 large eggs
- Salt (to taste)
- Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Grease the ramekin: Grease a 6-ounce ramekin with butter, ensuring the bottom and sides are well coated.
- Prepare eggs: Pour the heavy cream into the ramekin and gently crack the eggs on top, being careful not to break the yolks.
- Season: Season the eggs with salt and pepper, then sprinkle with minced chives and grated Parmesan cheese.
- Bake: Place the ramekin on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 12 to 15 minutes.
- Rest before serving: Remove from the oven and let rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Notes
- Let the cooked eggs rest for a couple of minutes before serving to enhance texture and flavor.
