Herbed Parmesan Baked Eggs

1 tbsp. butter
2 tbsp. freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp. minced fresh thyme
2 eggs
Pinch salt
Dash freshly ground white pepper
Dash freshly grated nutmeg
1 tbsp. snipped chives or chervil

Preheat the oven to 325�F.

Heavily grease small individual casserole dishes or ramekins (flatter is better) with half of the butter.

Sprinkle a tablespoon of Parmesan cheese in each dish, tilting the dish to coat the buttered sides with the parmesan. Repeat with the thyme.

Break one egg into each dish. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Dot with the remaining butter.

Bake for 12-18 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked the way you like them.

Top with the snipped chives or chervil and serve immediately.

Makes 2 servings.
