How to Make Baked Eggs With Herbs

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) or Gas Mark 4.
  2. Lightly grease a large oven-safe dish (approximately 8x8 inches) with 1 tablespoon of butter. Sprinkle 4 ounces (115g) of grated cheese evenly over the base.
  3. Carefully crack 2 large eggs per person into the dish, keeping the yolks intact. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  4. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh chives, 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley, and ½ tablespoon of chopped fresh thyme. Sprinkle the herb mixture evenly over the eggs. Gently spoon 4 tablespoons of cream evenly over the egg yolks. Top with the remaining cheese.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are lightly golden. Serve immediately with crusty bread and butter.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
