Ingredients

unsalted butter, softened
2-3 tablespoons grated parmesan
6 large eggs
6 tablespoons heavy cream, or half & half
2 pieces crisp bacon, crumbled
fresh chives, chopped
salt & pepper, to taste

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Butter the insides of 3 4-ounce ramekins with unsalted butter, and place them inside a baking dish.
Split 2-3 tablespoons grated parmesan evenly between the three ramekins before cracking two of the 6 large eggs into each one.
Top each ramekin with 2 tablespoons of the 6 tablespoons heavy cream,followed by a pinch of salt & pepper,.
Add water to the baking dish until it is ⅔ of the way up the sides of the ramekins to create a water bath. Bake for 12-14 minutes until the whites are opaque, but the egg still has some jiggle. Don’t worry if it looks a little undercooked! It will continue to bake after it comes out of the oven.
Add crumbled 2 pieces crisp bacon, and fresh chives, on top. Serve warm with toast or crostini on the side.
