Serves 4

2½ Tbsp butter

2 ½ tsp freshly chopped thyme leaves

8 eggs, preferably free-range or organic

4 Tbsp cream

sea salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper

Method

Preheat the oven to 180C

Rub the inside of 4 ramekins with the butter and then season with the thyme, distributing both equally amongst the ramekins. Add 2 eggs to each, season with salt and pepper. Place the ramekins in a baking dish, spoon over 1 Tbsp cream per ramekin and pour water into the baking dish until it is halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Carefully place the baking dish in the pre-heated oven. Bake eggs for 15 minutes, or until set and golden on top. Eat and enjoy!
