Quick Shirred Eggs

If you find yourself cooking for 10, and only find out last minute about some food allergies that make your planned breakfast impossible, try shirred eggs. This is a great "quickie" that really takes very little time and only basic ingredients. Also, since we always like to showcase our free-range Cottonwood eggs, this is a great dish. Use the 6 oz ramekin size:

put a teaspoon of butter,
a tablespoon of heavy cream,
salt & fresh cracked pepper,
and one or two eggs per ramekin-- depending on appetite size

bake in a 325 degree oven for about 20 minutes.

You can spice it up with Tabasco sauce. Or cook it with fresh spinach leaves-- which is what we have been able to do this year with our garden producing spinach.

You can also top it with cheese-- sheep milk parmesan is a tasty option.
