Crack the eggs into a small bowl, being careful not to break the yolks, and set aside.
In a non-stick skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat until it begins to foam.
Add the sherry and orange juice to the skillet, stirring gently to combine and let simmer for about 30 seconds to reduce slightly.
Carefully slide the eggs into the skillet, ensuring the yolks remain intact. Cover the skillet with a lid and allow the eggs to cook gently for about 2-3 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny.
Once the eggs are cooked to your preference, drizzle the heavy cream over the eggs and sprinkle with orange zest, salt, and black pepper.
Remove the skillet from heat and gently slide the eggs and sauce onto serving plates.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately. Toasted bread slices make an excellent accompaniment to soak up the flavorful sauce.
