Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 8 Large Eggs
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
Cheese and Garnish
- 1 round (150 g) Boursin Garlic and Herb Cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Chives, chopped
For Baking
- 1 tablespoon Butter (for greasing the baking dish)
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and butter a medium baking dish thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the 8 large eggs, 1 cup heavy cream, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until the mixture is just blended and slightly frothy.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Pour the egg and cream mixture evenly into the buttered baking dish, ensuring a smooth surface.
- Assemble the Dish: Crumble the entire 150 g round of Boursin Garlic and Herb Cheese evenly over the egg mixture, then sprinkle the 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh chives on top for flavor and color.
- Cook to Perfection: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. The eggs should puff up and develop a golden color on top but still have a slight jiggle in the center indicating creamy softness.
- Finishing Touches: Remove the bake from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes; this helps it to set and makes slicing easier.
- Serve and Enjoy: Cut the egg bake into portions and serve warm, optionally garnished with additional fresh chives for an extra burst of freshness.
Notes
- For a dairy-free option, substitute heavy cream with a plant-based cream and omit the Boursin or replace with a suitable vegan cheese alternative.
- This dish can be prepared the night before, assembled up to the baking step, then refrigerated and baked fresh in the morning.
- The slight jiggle when done ensures the eggs remain creamy and not overcooked.
- Fresh herbs like parsley or dill can replace chives for slight flavor variation.
- Use a non-stick or glass baking dish for best results and easy cleanup.
