The Breakfast Kitchen: Greek Shirred Eggs

I was not sure about adding the cream to this but it actually works. I did use dried herbs and it would be even better with fresh. Shirred eggs are also called baked eggs. Shirred eggs are basically eggs with cream.

The ingredients:

1/2 TBSP butter

Onion powder

1 garlic clove grated

 1/4 C heavy cream

2 large eggs

2 TBSP crumbled feta

2 TBSP herbs (basil, dill, parsley, etc)

1 Pinch black pepper

1 Pinch crushed red pepper

Drizzle of olive oil

Capers optional

The recipe:ramekins.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

In a small pot, melt the butter with the garlic and onion powder until aromatic and melted.

Add to a greased ramekin.

Pour the cream on top of the butter mixture.

Carefully add the eggs.

Sprinkle on the Feta and half the herbs plus the pepper.

Bake until set and eggs cook go your desired. I like my eggs over hard so for me it was about 20 minutes.

Sprinkle with the remaining herbs and drizzle of olive oil.

Add capers if desired.

Notes:

Yield is 1 serving.

If using dried herbs i would use half. 

I did add the capers.

These came out of the ramekins really well.
