A simple and comforting recipe for creamy baked eggs in ramekins, perfect for cozy mornings and easy to customize with herbs, cheese, or add-ins.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) heavy cream (or half-and-half for lighter option)
  • 1/4 cup (25 g) shredded Gruyère cheese (Swiss or mozzarella can be used)
  • Unsalted butter (for greasing ramekins)
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh herbs (chives or parsley, optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Optional add-ins: a few dashes of hot sauce, diced ham, sautéed spinach

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Allow at least 10 minutes for the oven to reach temperature.
  2. Grease 2 small oven-safe ramekins (about 6 oz / 180 ml each) with unsalted butter.
  3. In a mixing bowl, gently whisk 4 large eggs with 1/4 cup (60 ml) heavy cream until just combined.
  4. Season the mixture with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Stir in chopped herbs if using.
  5. Pour the mixture evenly into the ramekins, filling each about 3/4 full.
  6. Sprinkle about 1/8 cup (12 g) shredded Gruyère cheese on top of each ramekin.
  7. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes.
  8. Check starting at 11 minutes; eggs should be set around edges but slightly wobbly in the center with melted, lightly browned cheese on top.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool for 2 minutes before serving.
  10. Serve immediately, optionally garnished with extra herbs or a dash of hot sauce.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for even cooking. Do not overwhisk the eggs and cream mixture to maintain silky texture. Watch the oven temperature closely to avoid overcooking. Freshly shredded cheese melts and browns better than pre-shredded. If eggs are too runny after baking, return to oven for 1-2 more minutes. Ramekins can be substituted with small oven-safe bowls or custard cups but adjust baking time accordingly.
