Ingredients for Baked Eggs With Fresh Herbs And Goat Cheese

  • Mixed Fresh Herbs
  • Garlic Clove
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • Heavy Cream
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese
  • Salt And Black Pepper

How to Make Baked Eggs With Fresh Herbs And Goat Cheese

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. In a small bowl, combine chopped herbs and minced garlic. Set aside.
  3. In a glass measuring cup, whisk together melted butter and heavy cream.
  4. Place six 4-ounce ramekins or ovenproof cups on a baking sheet.
  5. Evenly divide the butter mixture among the ramekins.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 1-3 minutes, or until the mixture is bubbly and hot.
  7. Carefully remove from the oven.
  8. Crack 1 or 2 eggs into a separate small bowl to avoid breaking the yolks. Gently slide the eggs into each heated ramekin.
  9. Top each egg with a spoonful of the herb mixture and a sprinkle of crumbled goat cheese.
  10. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  11. Repeat steps 8-10 with the remaining eggs.
  12. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 3-5 minutes, or until the egg whites are just set but the yolks are still slightly runny.
  13. The eggs will continue to cook slightly after being removed from the oven.
  14. Carefully remove the ramekins from the oven and place each one on a plate.
  15. Serve immediately with toast, if desired.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
