Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 4 slices bacon
  • 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh chives, divided
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp butter, softened

Method
 

  1. Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat for 6 to 7 minutes until crisp, then chop.
  2. Whisk the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper for about 1 minute until pale and frothy.
  3. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C), butter four 6-oz ramekins, and divide the bacon, cheddar, and 1 tbsp chives among them.
  4. Pour the egg mixture over the filling and bake 22 to 25 minutes until puffed and set, reaching 160°F (71°C) in the center.
  5. Top with the remaining chives and serve immediately.

Notes

These are best eaten right out of the oven while they're still puffed, since they settle within a few minutes as they cool. If you're making them ahead, you can assemble the ramekins the night before, cover, and refrigerate, then bake straight from the fridge in the morning with a few extra minutes added.
