Ingredients

• 4 pieces Large eggs
• 4 tablespoons Heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh chives (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Lightly grease two small oven-safe ramekins or baking dishes with the unsalted butter.

Step 3

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

Step 4

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

Step 5

Sprinkle the chopped parsley, chives, and thyme evenly over the eggs in both ramekins.

Step 6

Season each ramekin with a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 7

If desired, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese over the eggs in each ramekin for added flavor.

Step 8

Place the ramekins in a baking dish or on a baking sheet to make transferring them easier.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny. For firmer yolks, bake an additional 1-2 minutes as needed.

Step 10

Carefully remove the ramekins from the oven and let them cool for 1-2 minutes before serving.

Step 11

Serve warm with crusty bread or toast on the side for dipping.
