👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 180°C (355°F).
    ⚙ Preheating the OvenOven
    💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
  2. 2
    Grease ramekins with butter.
  3. 3
    Mix the cream, garlic, nutmeg, salt and black pepper and pour into the ramekins, to about a third of the height.
    Bowl
  4. 4
    Gently crack one egg into each dish, keeping the yolks whole.
  5. 5
    Sprinkle the Parmesan on top.
  6. 6
    Bake in the ramekins 10–12 minutes, until the whites are set and the yolks still soft.
    ⚙ BakingOvenRamekins / cocottes
    💡Hot ramekins keep cooking the egg even out of the oven: take them out when the whites are set and the yolks still wobble.
    💡Check by the cue (until…), not just the clock: every oven bakes a little differently.
  7. 7
    Scatter the parsley and dill over the hot eggs and serve immediately with bread.
