Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 4 tablespoons heavy cream
• 2 teaspoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, finely grated
• 1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 bread slices (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Lightly grease two ramekins or small oven-safe dishes with 1 teaspoon of butter each.

Step 3

Crack 2 eggs into each ramekin, being careful not to break the yolks.

Step 4

Drizzle 2 tablespoons of heavy cream over the eggs in each ramekin.

Step 5

Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese over the top of each dish.

Step 6

Season each ramekin with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Step 7

Place the ramekins in a baking dish. Fill the dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins to create a water bath.

Step 8

Carefully transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain slightly runny. If you prefer firmer yolks, bake for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool slightly for 2 minutes.

Step 10

Garnish each dish with a sprinkle of chopped chives and serve warm. Pair with toasted bread slices for dipping, if desired.
