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 ½ inch deep) or similar sized oven proof dishes that will hold 2 eggs each.

Ingredients

4 eggs
2 tablespoon of butter
2 teaspoon of milk
2 oven safe large ramekins or similar
1 clove of garlic minced
¼ cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon of dried thyme you can use fresh too
1 teaspoon 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 tablespoon of butter and 1 teaspoon 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 ½ 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 ½ or until the eggs are done to your likeness.
