Equipment

  • 4 Ramekins

Ingredients

  • 4 eggs
  • 2 tablespoon fresh parsley; save some for garnishment
  • 2 shallots; save some for garnishment
  • 4 tablespoon heavy cream; 1 tablespoon for each ramekin
  • 1 tablespoon Gruyere cheese grated
  • Basil leaves for garnishment; optional
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions

  • First start by chopping the parsley but leaving a few twigs untouched for garnishment. Also chopped the shallots.
    In a 6oz ramekin (a 4oz can also be used) add 1tbsp of the heavy cream in each ramekin and add a little pinch of the gruyere cheese in each.
    Break an egg in each ramekin and equally spread the parsley and shallots on top of each egg. Equally add the remaining cheese in each ramekin. Salt and pepper to taste.

  • Using a baking dish add hot water to about ⅓ of the dish and place the ramekin in the dish. This process is called a bain-marie.
    Cover with an oven save top or foil and baked for 10 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
    Uncover and cook an additional 1-5 minutes depending on desired consistency. Let sit for about 1-2 minutes and serve with toast or your favorite side.
    Note that the least amount of cooking time will give you a runnier egg. Cooking for simply 2-3 minutes uncovered will give you cooked whites and a little runny yolk. Certainly, we do not recommend more than 5 minutes.
