Baked Eggs With Fresh Herbs And Goat Cheese - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 tablespoons chopped mixed fresh herbs (parsley, basil, thyme, mint, tarragon)
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons heavy cream or 2 tablespoons half-and-half
6 eggs
3 tablespoons goat cheese, crumbled fine
sea salt and black pepper

Preparation

Preheat oven to 450\u00b0. Combine herbs and garlic; set aside.
In a glass measuring cup, mix butter and cream. Place six 4-ounce ramekins or ovenproof cups on a baking sheet.
Pour butter mixture evenly among ramekins. Bake in preheated oven until bubbly hot, about 1 to 3 minutes.
Remove from oven. To avoid breaking yolks, carefully crack 1 or 2 eggs into a separate cup and gently slide them into a heated ramekin.
Top eggs with herb mixture and crumbled cheese. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Repeat with remaining eggs.
Return to oven and bake 3 to 5 minutes. Eggs should look not quite done; they will continue to cook after removed from oven.
Place each ramekin on a plate. Serve immediately with toast.
