Main Ingredients

4 large eggs
1 tablespoon butter for greasing the baking dish
¼ cup grated cheese (e.g., Gruyère or cheddar, lighter option if desired)
¼ cup heavy cream or substitute with Greek yogurt for a tangy twist
to taste salt for seasoning
to taste pepper for seasoning
Fresh herbs (e.g., chives or parsley, for garnish)

Instructions

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease a small baking dish or individual ramekins with butter to prevent sticking.
Pour your heavy cream evenly into the baking dish(es).
Carefully crack four eggs over the cream, ensuring you keep the yolks intact.
Sprinkle salt and pepper over the eggs to enhance their flavor.
Generously top the eggs with your choice of grated cheese.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the whites are set and the yolks have reached your desired level of doneness.
Once baked, remove from the oven, garnish with fresh herbs, and serve immediately.

Notes

For optimal success, keep an eye on the eggs in the oven to avoid overcooking, and personalize the recipe with sautéed vegetables or halal smoked chicken. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
