Servings: 2 people
Equipment
- wide ramekins for baking the eggs in (the ones in the picture measure 5 x 5 inches and are only a little more than 1/2 inch deep) or similar sized oven proof dishes that will hold 2 eggs each.
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 2 tbsp of butter
- 2 tsp of milk
- 2 oven safe large ramekins or similar
- 1 clove of garlic minced
- 1/4 cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp of dried thyme you can use fresh too
- 1 tsp of dried basil you can use fresh too
- pinch of slat and fresh ground pepper
- Crostini Bread
Instructions
- Preheat your broiler.
- Place ramekins on a baking sheet and place under broiler for a few minutes while you prepare your eggs.
- In each ramekin, place 1 tbsp of butter and 1 tsp of milk.
- Place under broiler for 3-4 minutes until nice and hot.
- While ramekins are under broiler, grate your cheese, measure out your spices and mince your garlic and add them all to a bowl and mix together.
- Now take the ramekins out of the oven and crack 2 eggs into each ramekin (1 if you prefer- see notes below).
- After the eggs are in the ramekins, sprinkle 1/2 of the herb and cheese mixture over top of each ramekin and place back under the broiler for another 4-5 minutes or until the eggs are set and bubbly but the yolk is still runny.
- Serve with some Oregano Crostini bread (recipe above) for dipping or regular baguette.
- Enjoy!!!
Notes
This recipe is for 2 eggs in each ramekin. If you would like to use only 1 egg that is fine, just reduce the cooking time by about 1/2 or until the eggs are done to your likeness.
