Creamy Baked Eggs
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 large eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Pour the heavy cream into a shallow earthen dish or a small baking dish, ensuring it covers the bottom evenly.
- Place the dish in a larger pan filled with boiling water, creating a water bath.
- Once the cream is hot, carefully crack the eggs into the dish, ensuring they stay in place and do not overlap.
- Season the eggs with salt and pepper to taste.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are still slightly runny.
- Occasionally baste the eggs with the hot cream from the dish to ensure even cooking.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for a minute before serving.
- Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
