LeRoux Herb Baked Eggs in a Cup Recipe

Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes
Servings: Serves 2

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp. heavy cream
  • 2 tsp. LeRoux Butter Flavored Olive Oil**
  • 1 tsp. LeRoux Tuscan Herb Olive Oil**
  • 4 small cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
  • 1 garlic clove, finely grated using a Microplane**
  • ½ tsp. fresh thyme leaves, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp. fresh chives, finely chopped
  • 2 tsp. fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 4 large eggs
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the broiler after placing the top oven rack approx. 6” below the heat.
  • Using two 8 oz. oven-safe ramekins, put 1 tbsp. cream, 1 tsp. butter olive oil and ½ tsp. Tuscan Herb Olive Oil in each ramekin. Swirl to mix the liquid and place the ramekins on a baking sheet.
  • Put in the oven on the top rack under the broiler. Leave in the oven approx. 3 minutes, when the liquid will be hot and bubbly.
  • While the ramekins are in the oven, place the herbs, garlic and parmesan in a small bowl, and mix them together with your fingers. Crack 2 eggs for each ramekin into small prep bowls so they are ready to pour into the hot containers.
  • After the 3 minutes, remove the baking sheet with the ramekins from the oven. Being careful not to touch the hot ramekins, put the halved tomatoes into each cup, followed by the herb/cheese mixture, reserving just a bit.
  • Add 2 eggs to each ramekin, sprinkle with salt & pepper, and top with the remaining herb/cheese mixture. Place back under the broiler and continue to cook for 4-6 minutes, until the whites have almost cooked through. Remove from the oven, the whites will continue to cook while the eggs are cooling enough to eat.
  • Serve with buttered toast soldiers for dipping. Enjoy!
