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!
Servings: 3 servings
Ingredients
- unsalted butter, softened
- 2-3 tablespoons grated parmesan
- 6 large eggs
- 6 tablespoons heavy cream, or half & half
- 2 pieces crisp bacon, crumbled
- fresh chives, chopped
- salt & pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Butter the insides of 3 4-ounce ramekins and place them inside a baking dish.
- Split the parmesan evenly between the three ramekins before cracking two eggs into each one.
- Top each ramekin with 2 tablespoons of heavy cream, followed by a pinch of salt and 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 bacon and chives on top. Serve warm with toast or crostini on the side.
