Ingredients

1/4 teaspoon minced fresh garlic
1/4 teaspoon minced fresh thyme leaves
1/4 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary leaves
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
1 tablespoon freshly grated Parmesan
6 extra-large eggs
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Toasted French bread or brioche, for serving

Directions

Preheat the broiler for 5 minutes and place the oven rack 6 inches below the heat.

Combine the garlic, thyme, rosemary, parsley, and Parmesan and set aside. Carefully crack 3 eggs into each of 2 small bowls or teacups (you won't be baking them in these) without breaking the yolks. (It's very important to have all the eggs ready to go before you start cooking.)

Place 2 individual gratin dishes on a baking sheet. Place 1 tablespoon of cream and 1/2 tablespoon of butter in each dish and place under the broiler for about 3 minutes, until hot and bubbly. Quickly, but carefully, pour 3 eggs into each gratin dish and sprinkle evenly with the herb mixture, then sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Place back under the broiler for 5 to 6 minutes, until the whites of the eggs are almost cooked. (Rotate the baking sheet once if they aren't cooking evenly.) The eggs will continue to cook after you take them out of the oven. Allow to set for 60 seconds and serve hot with toasted bread.

Delicious and Easy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Wow! Quick, easy and very impressive. I served the eggs along with the pear and endive salad Ina made on her show. A... wonderful dinner with rave reviews from my hubby. The fresh herbs are a must, and I had to leave my eggs in the oven for about 3 minutes longer to cook properly. I'll definitely make this dish again and again! Read more

Great flavor - technique needs to be changed
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I haev made this many times with varying results - the flavor is always spectacular, but the eggs (if you follow the recipe)... usually turn out with the interior whites completely undercooked and the yolks and exterior whites overcooked. I have tried a million different ways around it (cooking in a water bath, different size dishes, baking instead of broiling or a combination thereof) and it strikes me that the only way this might come out properly is to follow the advise of the woman who separated her eggs and cooked the whites first and then added the yolks later on. However, the herb mixture is divine - I usually use twice as much, and it would be great in scrambled eggs or an omelet as well.Read more

I tried this recipe this weekend and it was great. However, I cheated and used "provence" dried herbs. It was delicious and... super easy. I followed the rest of Ina's recipe in terms of prep and cook time. I will definitely make this one over and over.Read more
