Directions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and lightly butter two small ramekins.
If you are using ham or any other add-ins, put them in the base of the ramekins.
Crack two eggs into each ramekin. Be careful not to break the yolks.
Spoon two tablespoons of cream over each set of eggs, followed by a couple tablespoons of cheese.
Season with salt, pepper and sprinkle chopped herbs, if using.
Place the ramekins in a baking dish and fill the dish with boiling water until it comes halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 to 18 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Adjust the cooking time depending on how runny or set you prefer your yolks.
Serve immediately with crusty bread, if desired.
