  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 large eggs
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs for garnish optional

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.
  • Serve your creamy baked eggs promptly and enjoy the rich and indulgent flavors.
