Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 4 tablespoons heavy cream
• 2 teaspoons black truffle oil
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon fresh chives
• 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 2 cups hot water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Lightly grease the insides of two ramekins (6-ounce capacity each) with the unsalted butter to prevent sticking.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Drizzle 1 teaspoon of truffle oil over the eggs in each ramekin.

Step 5

Add 2 tablespoons of heavy cream into each ramekin around the eggs, ensuring the cream doesn't fully cover the yolks.

Step 6

Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese evenly over each ramekin.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Prepare a water bath: Place the ramekins in a baking dish and pour the hot water into the dish until it comes halfway up the sides of the ramekins.

Step 9

Carefully transfer the baking dish to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny. Keep an eye on them as oven times may vary.

Step 10

Using oven mitts, carefully remove the ramekins from the water bath and set them on a heatproof surface to cool slightly.

Step 11

Garnish with the chopped fresh chives for a pop of color and added flavor before serving.

Step 12

Serve immediately with toast points or crusty bread for dipping.
