Creamy Parmesan Baked Eggs
Description
This recipe for Creamy Parmesan Baked Eggs starts by buttering small ramekins, then cracking eggs into the dishes. Adding heavy cream around the eggs before seasoning them with salt and pepper helps create a soft, custard-like texture once baked. Grated Parmesan cheese on top adds a subtle, nutty richness that melts and browns slightly in the oven.
Baking at a relatively high temperature for 10 to 12 minutes cooks the eggs just enough to achieve a set but creamy consistency, where the whites are firm but the yolks remain tender. The buttered ramekins ensure the eggs don’t stick and add a slight buttery flavor.
These baked eggs are best eaten fresh from the oven alongside slices of toasted or crusty bread, which can be used to scoop up the creamy eggs and melted cheese. This simple preparation highlights the richness of the eggs and Parmesan without overpowering seasoning.
