Ingredients

• 4 pieces large eggs
• 60 grams feta cheese
• 60 milliliters heavy cream
• 10 grams unsalted butter
• 4 pieces cherry tomatoes
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill (chopped)
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).

Step 2

Grease two small ovenproof ramekins or dishes with the unsalted butter to ensure the eggs don’t stick.

Step 3

Crumble the feta cheese evenly into the two ramekins, spreading it across the bottoms.

Step 4

Halve the cherry tomatoes and add two halves to each ramekin, nestling them between the feta.

Step 5

Carefully crack two eggs into each ramekin, being cautious not to break the yolks.

Step 6

Drizzle 30 milliliters of heavy cream over the eggs in each ramekin to add richness.

Step 7

Season lightly with salt and black pepper, being mindful that feta is naturally salty.

Step 8

Place the ramekins on a baking sheet to catch any potential spills and transfer them to the preheated oven.

Step 9

Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny. The cooking time may vary slightly depending on your oven and ramekin size.

Step 10

Once baked, carefully remove the ramekins from the oven using oven mitts and place them on a heatproof surface.

Step 11

Garnish the shirred eggs with freshly chopped parsley and dill for a burst of color and flavor.

Step 12

Serve immediately with crusty bread or a side salad, if desired.
