Baked Cheesy Eggs

 

Ingredients 

 

• ▢1 teaspoon salted butter -room temperature
• ▢2 large eggs
• ▢2 tablespoons heavy cream (or use whole milk or half and half)
• ▢2 tablespoons shredded Cheddar cheese
• ▢1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
• ▢⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
• ▢⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Coat the inside of an 10-ounce oven safe ramekin with the butter or spray.
• Whisk together the eggs and cream in a small bowl. 
• Stir in the cheeses, salt, and pepper.
• Pour into the ramekin and bake for 15-18 minutes or until eggs are set.
• Let cool 5 minutes and enjoy.

Notes

• Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F before you begin. This ensures the eggs cook evenly.
• Choose the Right Ramekin: A 10-ounce ramekin works perfectly for this recipe, giving the eggs and cheese just enough room without spilling over.
• Baking Tips: To keep your eggs from overcooking, start checking them a few minutes before the recommended time. They’re ready when the center is set and no longer jiggles. Keep in mind, they’ll continue to firm up for a minute or two after you take them out due to the residual heat.
