Step-by-Step Instructions for Shirred Eggs

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Take a 6-ounce ramekin and add about a teaspoon of unsalted butter. Coat the inside thoroughly.
Pour a thin layer of heavy cream into the greased ramekin, covering the bottom with 2-3 tablespoons.
Gently crack one large egg into the center of the cream.
Sprinkle a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper over the egg.
Finely chop fresh chives and sprinkle them evenly on top of the egg, followed by grated Parmesan cheese.
Place the prepared ramekin on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes.
Remove from the oven and allow the Shirred Eggs to rest for a couple of minutes.
Serve warm with toasted bread on the side for dipping.
