Ingredients

Scale
  • utter-flavored nonstick cooking spray (or melted butter), for greasing
  • 12 large eggs
  • ½ cup heavy cream (approx. 2 tsp per egg)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 8 oz Parmesan cheese, grated (1 tbsp per egg)
  • Green onions, sliced thinly, for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Prepare the Muffin Tin: Coat each cup of a standard muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray or melted butter to prevent sticking.
  • Add Eggs: Gently crack one egg into each prepared muffin cup, keeping the yolks intact.
  • Drizzle Cream: Pour about 2 teaspoons of heavy cream over each egg for a rich and creamy finish.
  • Season and Add Cheese: Sprinkle each egg with salt, black pepper, and about 1 tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake:
    • For soft centers: 7-8 minutes
    • For semi-soft centers: 9-10 minutes
    • For firm centers: 11-12 minutes
  • Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before carefully lifting the eggs with a small spatula. Garnish with green onions and serve warm.

Notes

Serving Suggestions

  • Pair with toasted baguette slices or fresh greens for a balanced meal.
  • Add crispy bacon or sautéed vegetables on the side for extra flavor.

Tips & Tricks

  • Use freshly grated Parmesan for better melting and flavor.
  • Crack eggs into a separate bowl first to avoid broken yolks or shells in the dish.
  • Adjust baking time based on your preferred yolk consistency.

Storage & Reheating

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  • Reheat gently in the microwave at low power (50%) in short intervals to avoid overcooking.
  • These eggs are best enjoyed fresh but can be frozen individually by wrapping tightly in plastic wrap and foil. Reheat from frozen in a preheated oven at 350°F until warmed through.
