Food Makes Me Happy: Very Cheesy Oven Baked Eggs

Very Cheesy Oven Baked Eggs

Summer vacation probably is one of the best things for a student,
I have already spent one month in Taiwan,
Which means...I still have two more months left (lucky me huh?),

Unfortunately,
A ~~happy~~ unpleasant side effect does come with my long months-off:
Totally messed up sleeping schedule.

Waking up when the sun is right in the middle of the sky,
I had to reluctantly crawling out of my bed, "so sad....."
(some people might start hating me here)

Hmmm...
By the time my eyes are fully opened...
It's not exactly breakfast time, not really lunch time,
How about making something "brunch-like?"

Very Cheesy Baked Eggs -

Ingredients?
3 eggs
1 tablespoon of butter
2 tablespoons of heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning
2 tablespoons of grated Parmesan
2 tablespoons of baby brie (break into small pieces)
Some salt
Some pepper
(Bread of your liking)

How?

Turn on the oven broiler,
Put the butter and heavy whipping cream in a ramekin (medium/large),
Into the oven till the butter melts and the whipping cream starts bubbling a little bit.
Once that is done, take out the ramekin and set aside,
(Simply heating up these two ingredients with a small sauce pan works too,
I just don't feel like washing another pan)

Change the oven temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Break 3 eggs into the ramekin and try to keep the yolks (handle with care),
Sprinkle some salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning,
In addition, evenly sprinkle the cheese over the top,
You don't have to use Parmesan and brie here,
Just mix any kind of cheese of your liking,
After a few trials, you'll definitely find the perfect match!

Cheese I like for baked eggs:
Parmesan
Brie
Taleggio

Transfer the ramekin into the oven and bake for about 7 minutes,
Afterwards, turn on the broiler and bake till the cheese are slightly burned,
This dish is done when the egg whites are set and the yolks are semi-cooked.
