Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 190 degrees (bottom heat).
  2. Put some hot water in a gratin dish, roaster, etc. and place in the oven.
  3. Butter 4 molds and break 2 eggs into each mold.
  4. Sprinkle the eggs with the chives, salt, pepper and carefully pour the cream over the eggs and finally sprinkle with the cheese.
  5. Put the molds in the water bath, should be about halfway in the hot water.
  6. Cook for 10 minutes: the egg white should be set, the egg yolk should still be liquid (test: shake it lightly), leave in for 1-2 minutes longer, if you like, serve immediately in the mold.
  7. It's actually a starter, I prefer it (in contrast to the "real Parisians") for breakfast.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
