Shirred Eggs
Shirred Eggs are a breakfast worth waking up for! They're a creamy, custardy combination of eggs, cheese, cream, and bacon that bake in individual ramekins. It's a simple yet super tasty way to start the day!
Ingredients
- unsalted butter softened
- 2-3 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese grated
- 6 egg large
- 6 tablespoons heavy cream or half & half
- 2 pieces Bacon crumbled, crisp
- chives chopped, fresh
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Butter the insides of 3 4-ounce ramekins with unsalted butter, and place them inside a baking dish.
- Split 2-3 tablespoons grated parmesan evenly between the three ramekins before cracking two of the 6 large eggs into each one.
- Top each ramekin with 2 tablespoons of the 6 tablespoons heavy cream,followed by a pinch of salt & pepper,.
- Add water to the baking dish until it is ⅔ of the way up the sides of the ramekins to create a water bath. Bake for 12-14 minutes until the whites are opaque, but the egg still has some jiggle. Don’t worry if it looks a little undercooked! It will continue to bake after it comes out of the oven.
- Add crumbled 2 pieces crisp bacon, and fresh chives, on top. Serve warm with toast or crostini on the side.
