Ingredients for Austrian Eggs

  • 1 cup sour cream
  • Heavy Cream
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon butter
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
  • Salt And Pepper

How to Make Austrian Eggs

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup sour cream and ½ cup heavy cream.
  3. Grease a small oven-safe baking dish (approximately 6-inch diameter).
  4. Pour the sour cream mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  5. Carefully crack 4 large eggs, one at a time, into a small cup or ramekin to prevent breakage.
  6. Gently slip the eggs into the sour cream mixture, spacing them evenly.
  7. Dot the top of each egg with 1 teaspoon of butter.
  8. Sprinkle generously with 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh chives.
  9. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your desired consistency.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
