Shirred Eggs

Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your favorite)
  • Fresh herbs (like chives or parsley), chopped
  • Optional: diced vegetables or cooked meats for added pizzazz!

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This is where the magic happens, so do it right!
  2. Grease a small baking dish (or individual ramekins if you’re feeling fancy) with butter or cooking spray. You wouldn’t want your eggs playing hide and seek with the dish, would you?
  3. Crack an egg into each prepared dish. Feel free to be as gentle as your grandma’s favorite china!
  4. Pour a little heavy cream over the eggs. You want it to swim comfortably—no diving here!
  5. Sprinkle salt, pepper, and cheese on top. Remember, the cheese is the crown for your egg royalty!
  6. If you’re adding those optional ingredients (veggies or meats), toss them in before the cream, like putting the finishing touches on a masterpiece.
  7. Carefully place the dish in the oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set but still slightly jiggly like your uncle at wedding receptions
  8. Once out of the oven, sprinkle with fresh herbs to give it that Instagram-ready vibe!
  9. Serve hot and watch as your family becomes instant egg-sperts (get it?) in devouring it!

Now, take a moment to appreciate your creation. Not only have you managed to whip up a delicious dish, but you’ve also earned bragging rights for the day. Shirred Eggs might just be the passport to your next breakfast party! Enjoy!
