Shirred Eggs

These delicious eggs are baked with cream, chives, and Parmesan cheese.
Ingredients
  • 1/4 teaspoon softened butter
  • 2 teaspoons heavy cream
  • 2 eggs
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh chives
  • 1 teaspoon grated Parmesan cheese

Directions
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Rub the inside of a 6 ounce ramekin with butter. Pour cream into the ramekin, then crack the eggs on top of the cream without breaking the yolks. Use a spoon to position the yolks towards the center of the ramekin, then sprinkle with salt, pepper, chives, and Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake in preheated oven until the whites of the eggs have set and the yolks are still soft, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from oven, and allow to set for 2 to 3 minutes before serving.
