Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 12 large eggs
- 8 ounces (226 grams) grated or shredded Parmesan cheese
- ½ cup (120 milliliters) heavy cream
Seasonings:
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Warm the oven to a sizzling 425°F, preparing a muffin tin with a delicate butter-flavored mist to prevent sticking.
- Gently nestle a pristine egg into each prepared muffin cavity, creating a perfect circular nest.
- Cascade a luxurious stream of heavy cream or velvety melted butter over each egg, allowing it to pool delicately around the golden yolk.
- Elevate the flavor profile by sprinkling a pinch of sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper, then crown each egg with a generous dusting of nutty Parmesan cheese.
- Slide the muffin tin into the heated oven, allowing the eggs to transform. For those craving a runny center, aim for 7-8 minutes; slightly firmer enthusiasts should wait 9-10 minutes, while those desiring a fully set texture can extend to 11-12 minutes.
- Once achieved to your desired consistency, carefully extract the tin and embellish with an additional sprinkle of Parmesan, creating a visually tempting finish.
- Serve these delicate baked eggs immediately, capturing their peak of perfection and warmth.
Notes
- Customize egg doneness by adjusting baking time between 7-12 minutes for soft, semi-soft, or firm centers.
- Use butter-flavored cooking spray to prevent sticking and add subtle richness to the eggs.
- Heavy cream or melted butter creates a luxurious texture and enhances the overall flavor profile.
- Parmesan cheese adds a salty, nutty dimension that elevates the simple baked egg preparation.
- Muffin tin method ensures perfectly portioned, individually cooked eggs with consistent results.
- Serve immediately after baking to enjoy the optimal temperature and creamy egg texture.
