Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 8 large eggs
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup Boursin cheese, crumbled
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Cracked black pepper, to taste
- 4 teaspoons chopped chives, for garnish

Preparation
Preheat oven to 350°F. Bring a kettle of water to a boil.
Line 4 small ramekins with butter. Crack 2 eggs into each ramekin then top with cream and crumbled cheese.
Place the ramekins in a high-sided baking dish, then pour boiling water into the baking dish halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Cover baking dish with foil and bake 12–20 minutes, until eggs reach desired doneness.
Season with salt and pepper, garnish with chopped chives, and serve with buttered toast.
