For a richer flavor, use a combination of Cheddar and Gruyere cheese. Add a layer of cooked bacon or ham for a meaty twist. A dash of hot sauce or a pinch of red pepper flakes can add a nice kick.
Indulge in the simple pleasure of perfectly baked eggs, nestled in a creamy, cheesy blanket. This delightful dish is a comforting and satisfying experience, perfect for a weekend brunch or a cozy weeknight meal.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan. (5 minutes)
Cover the bottom of the prepared pan with 1/2 of the shredded sharp Cheddar cheese. (2 minutes)
In a bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, dry mustard, salt, and paprika until well combined. Pour 1/2 of this creamy mixture evenly over the cheese layer in the pan. (3 minutes)
Carefully break the eggs one by one over the cheese and cream mixture, spacing them evenly and being mindful not to break the yolks. Pour the remaining cream mixture over the eggs, then sprinkle the remaining shredded sharp Cheddar cheese on top. (5 minutes)
Bake in the preheated oven until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 20-25 minutes. (25 minutes)
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before slicing and serving immediately. Garnish with fresh herbs like chives or parsley for an extra touch of flavor and color. (2 minutes)
