Ingredients

Butter
8 eggs
8 tablespoons heavy cream
salt and pepper
1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese
Simmering water

Preparation

1
Preheat the oven to 350º F.
2
Butter 4 individual dishes – I used 8 oz. ramekins. Break 2 eggs into each dish; drizzle 2 tablespoons of cream over the eggs in each dish and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
3
Place the dishes in a larger baking dish that will hold them without crowding and pour the simmering water around, not over, the ramekins.
4
Bake for 10 to 15 minutes; sprinkle the cheese over each egg just a minute or two before done. Allow to rest for a minute or two before serving.
