- 1/3 Cup freshly shredded gruyere
- Sea salt to taste
- Cracked black pepper to taste
- Fresh chives, diced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Generously coat the inside of four ramekins. (The ramekins we used here were 3 1/2' in diameter and 2" high
- Add 1 Tablespoon heavy cream to each ramekin
- Crack an egg into each ramekin.
- Add 1 tablespoon fresh-shredded gruyere
- Sprinkle with chopped chives
- Add sea salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste
- Bake in pre-heated oven for 10 - 12 minutes. For a runnier yolk, bake closer to the 10-minute mark. Eggs will be jiggly when first pulled from the oven, but they will continue to set once removed.
Notes
We have also added sauteed baby spinach to this recipe that adds a different dimension. Add your favorite ingredients, but note you may have to increase baking time.
