Ingredients
- ¼ teaspoon minced fresh garlic
- ¼ teaspoon minced fresh thyme leaves
- ¼ teaspoon minced fresh rosemary leaves
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 6 eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions
- Preheat the broiler for 5 minutes and place the oven rack 6 inches below the heat.
- Combine the garlic, thyme, rosemary, parsley and Parmesan and set aside.
- Carefully crack 3 eggs into each of 2 small bowls or cups without breaking the yolks (you won’t be baking in these).
- Place 2 individual skillets or gratin dishes on a baking sheet.
- Place 1 tablespoon cream and 1/2 tablespoon butter in each dish.
- Place under the broiler for about 3 minutes, until hot and bubbly.
- Remove the pan from the oven and quickly, but carefully, pour 3 eggs into each gratin dish. Sprinkle evenly with the herb mixture, then sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper.
- Place back under the broiler for 5 to 6 minutes, until the whites of the eggs are almost cooked.

Notes
- Play around with the herbs and spices to adjust to your tastes or what you have on hand. Almost any fresh herb works well with eggs and cream.
- Heavy cream really is necessary for this recipe. The fat content helps prevent the cream from "breaking" during cooking.
