Creamy parmesan - baked eggs

Ingredients

2 eggs
2 tbsp of cream
1 tbsp freshly grated parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 160 degrees.


Break the eggs into a large ramekin dish and spoon the cream over the top. Season with salt and ground black pepper and sprinkle the parmesan cheese on top.



Bake the eggs for about 10 minutes, or until they are just set, and serve immediately

I can just imagine this dish at a dinner party as a starter. One ramekin dish with a saucer for each person. The key to this dish is the cooking of the eggs. It depends on how you like your eggs done. I love it to be just set so that it's soft and the yolk oozes out when your spoon sinks into it. I used my toaster oven to bake the eggs: 10 minutes without a grill and 5 more minutes with the grill and it worked pretty well. I added freshly chopped parsley and some paprika on top to give it an extra kick as well as a contrast to the richness of the cream.

Oh and those ramekins are new. I just bought them from Robert Dyas. It's one of my favourite stores these days (it, HMV and GAME), I am always browsing the wares there every saturday.
