Shirred Eggs Easy And Elegant Food

SHIRRED EGGS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Butter 4 (6-ounce) creme brulee ramekins with the butter and lay 1 slice of ham in each ramekin so that it sits flat on the bottom (it's ok if it comes up the sides.) Crack 2 eggs into 2 separate small cups and pour simultaneously into 1 of the ramekins so that the eggs sit side by side on top of the ham slice. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Repeat with remaining eggs. Place the 4 filled ramekins onto a baking sheet and transfer to the oven. Bake until eggs are just beginning to set up and become opaque, 9 to 10 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and drizzle each ramekin with 2 tablespoons of the heavy cream and then sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the cheese over the top of each. Sprinkle the parsley and chives over the ramekins and then return to the oven. Cook until eggs are just set up but yolks are still runny, 10 to 12 minutes, or to desired degree of doneness. Remove from the oven and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Rub the inside of a 6 ounce ramekin with butter. Pour cream into the ramekin, then crack the eggs on top of the cream without breaking the yolks. Use a spoon to position the yolks towards the center of the ramekin, then sprinkle with salt, pepper, chives, and Parmesan cheese.
• Bake in preheated oven until the whites of the eggs have set and the yolks are still soft, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from oven, and allow to set for 2 to 3 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees.
• Using 4 flameproof and ovenproof ramekins, set the ramekins over very low heat on the stove top, add the butter to the dish and break the eggs directly into the gently warming butter. Allow them to cook on the range top for 1 minute only until the egg whites begin to coagulate. While the eggs begin to cook season each ramekin with salt and pepper.
• Pour an equal amount of cream into each dish and top the eggs with a equal portion of truffle slices.
• Place the ramekins on a cookie sheet and put them into the oven to finish cooking. Allow 4 to 5 minutes for the egg yolks to be slightly runny and the whites fully cooked.
• Serve with toasted brioche or croissants.
