How to Make Baked Eggs With Fresh Herbs And Goat Cheese
- Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
- In a small bowl, combine chopped herbs and minced garlic. Set aside.
- In a glass measuring cup, whisk together melted butter and heavy cream.
- Place six 4-ounce ramekins or ovenproof cups on a baking sheet.
- Evenly divide the butter mixture among the ramekins.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 1-3 minutes, or until the mixture is bubbly and hot.
- Carefully remove from the oven.
- Crack 1 or 2 eggs into a separate small bowl to avoid breaking the yolks. Gently slide the eggs into each heated ramekin.
- Top each egg with a spoonful of the herb mixture and a sprinkle of crumbled goat cheese.
- Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Repeat steps 8-10 with the remaining eggs.
- 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.
- The eggs will continue to cook slightly after being removed from the oven.
- Carefully remove the ramekins from the oven and place each one on a plate.
- 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!
