Shirred Eggs

Something magical happens when you bake eggs with cream: They turn into a dense, silky custard, becoming much more than the sum of their parts.
How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°.
Step 2
Coat a 6-oz. ramekin with butter. Pour whipping cream into ramekin.
Step 3
Crack eggs into ramekin, coaxing yolks toward the center, using a spoon if necessary.
Step 4
Sprinkle eggs with salt and pepper, top with chives, then cheese.
Step 5
Bake until set around edges and still a bit jiggly in the center, about 12 minutes. (For firm yolks, bake an additional 3 minutes.) Let sit 2 to 3 minutes to set and serve immediately.
Chef's Notes
For easier oven transfer, set dish, or dishes if making more than one serving, on a large baking pan.
