Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 120 ml heavy cream
• 60 g Gruyère cheese
• 15 g butter (unsalted)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
• 1 pinch nutmeg
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 pinch black pepper
• 500 ml water (for bain-marie)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).

Step 2

Butter the insides of two individual ramekins with the unsalted butter to prevent sticking.

Step 3

Pour 2 tablespoons of heavy cream into the bottom of each ramekin.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Season the eggs with a pinch of salt, black pepper, and nutmeg.

Step 6

Sprinkle 30g of Gruyère cheese evenly over the eggs in each ramekin.

Step 7

Add 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley and 1/2 tablespoon of chopped chives to each ramekin for brightness and flavor.

Step 8

Place the ramekins in a baking dish, then pour hot water into the dish until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins (bain-marie).

Step 9

Carefully transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, checking for doneness by gently jiggling the ramekins. The whites should be set, but the yolks should remain slightly runny.

Step 10

Using oven mitts, carefully remove the ramekins from the baking dish and let them cool for 1-2 minutes.

Step 11

Serve immediately with crusty bread or toasted baguette slices for dipping.
