Shirred Eggs

Shirred eggs are baked eggs cooked in buttered ramekins with heavy cream, dried chives, and Parmesan cheese. Baking gently at a moderate temperature allows the whites to set while keeping the yolks soft and slightly wobbly, creating a creamy texture. These eggs can be enjoyed served atop toast for a delicate breakfast or brunch dish.

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons butter softened
  • 4 egg
  • 4 teaspoons heavy whipping cream
  • 2 teaspoons chives dried
  • 2 teaspoons Parmesan Cheese
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • toast for serving

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease each ramekin with butter and crack one egg into each ramekin.
  2. Top each egg with 1 teaspoon of heavy cream, 1/2 teaspoon of chives, 1/2 teaspoon of cheese, salt and pepper.
  3. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the whites are set, but the yolks are still wobbly. Check them at the 12 minute mark and if the whites are still clear in any spots, keep cooking. Serve on toast, if desired.

Notes

  • Toast is optional; serving eggs on toast provides a textural contrast to the creamy baked eggs.
  • Check eggs starting at 12 minutes to ensure whites are opaque and yolks remain soft but not raw.
  • Use softened butter to grease ramekins evenly for easy egg removal after baking.
