Herbed-Baked Eggs
- 14 teaspoon minced fresh garlic
- 14 teaspoon minced fresh thyme leave
- 14 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary leaf (or tarragon)
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated parmesan cheese (or try Feta cheese!)
- 6 extra-large eggs, cold from the fridge so they will transfer easily (or use large eggs)
- 3 tablespoons half-and-half or 2 tablespoons heavy cream or 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 1 12 tablespoons unsalted butter (or use Smart Balance margarine-healthier)
- kosher salt
- fresh ground black pepper
- toasted French bread, for serving (or brioche)
- Preheat the broiler for 5 minutes and place the oven rack 6 inches below the heat.
- Combine the garlic, thyme, rosemary, parsley, and Parmesan and set aside.
- Carefully crack 2 eggs into each of 3 small bowls or teacups (you won't be baking them in these) without breaking the yolks.
- (It's very important to have all the eggs ready to go before you start cooking.)
- Place 3 individual gratin dishes on a baking sheet.
- Place 1 tablespoon of cream and 1/2 tablespoon of butter in each dish and place under the broiler(about 6" from direct heat) for about 3 minutes, until hot and bubbly.
- Quickly, but carefully, pour 2 eggs into each gratin dish and sprinkle evenly with the herb mixture, then sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper.
- Place back under the broiler for 4 to 6 minutes, until the whites of the eggs are almost cooked.
- (Rotate the baking sheet once if they aren't cooking evenly.)
- The eggs will continue to cook after you take them out of the oven.
- Allow to set for 60 seconds and serve hot with toasted bread.
- Enjoy!
