PARMESAN AND THYME SHIRRED EGGS

BAKED EGGS are the perfect savory brunch.

I love these eggs for so many reasons. They are beautiful. They are quick. They are easy. And, I prefer a thoughtful savory brunch to a sweet one so these certainly satiate my wants. If you make and love these, try my Smoked Gouda And Herbs Shirred Eggs too—they are so good.

• Parmesan (1 tablespoon when finely grated)
• Eggs (3)

Instructions

TO MAKE YOUR SHIRRED EGGS

1. Preheat your oven to 375º.
2. Liberally grease your cast iron skillets with butter spray.
3. Sprinkle a third of your scallions and a third of your thyme evenly over the bottom of your cast iron skillet.
4. Sprinkle a third of your parmesan evenly over the bottom of your cast iron skillets.
5. Crack 3 eggs into each cast iron skillet. Season them with salt and pepper.
6. Pour a tablespoon of heavy cream over each egg yolk. It is ideal to cover as much of the eggs as possible but definitely focus on the yolks.
7. Sprinkle your remaining parmesan, scallion, and thyme evenly over the top of your eggs.
8. Bake until your egg whites are solidified and your yolks are still runny—14 minutes. To tell if your eggs are ready, you should see a little bubbling around the edges of the egg whites and if you gently shake the cast iron skillet (remember to use an oven mitt), the whites should not move. If you find that your egg whites are still runny or you want your yolks to be harder, bake in additional 30-second intervals because they cook really fast.
9. Serve hot and enjoy!
