Shirred eggs are delicious baked eggs on a creamy sauce flavored with cream, chives, and Parmesan for a elegant and impressive breakfast or brunch.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
Rub the inside of a 6-ounce ramekin with butter. Pour cream into the ramekin, then crack eggs on top of cream without breaking yolks. Use a spoon to position yolks towards the center of the ramekin, then sprinkle with salt, pepper, chives, and Parmesan cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven until whites of eggs have set and yolks are still soft, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from oven, and allow to set for 2 to 3 minutes before serving.
