How to Make Shirred Eggs

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, 1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes (halved), and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives.
  3. Arrange 4 slices of crusty bread in a single layer in a 13x9 inch ovenproof baking dish.
  4. Top the bread with 4 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto, evenly distributed.
  5. Spoon the tomato mixture evenly over the prosciutto.
  6. Crack 4 large eggs gently on top of the tomato mixture, spacing them evenly.
  7. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of heavy cream over the eggs.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are still slightly runny.
  9. Garnish with the remaining 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh chives and serve immediately.
