Ingredients

Scale

6 large eggs
1/4 cup milk or heavy cream
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp butter or olive oil (for greasing)
Salt and pepper, to taste
1–2 tbsp fresh herbs (chives, parsley, or tarragon)
Optional add-ins: diced bell peppers, spinach, mushrooms, turkey bacon, or chicken sausage

Instructions

Preheat oven: Preheat to 375°F (190°C). Grease 4 ramekins or a muffin tin with butter or olive oil.
Whisk eggs: In a bowl, whisk eggs with milk or cream. Season with salt, pepper, and herbs.
Add extras: Fold in cheese and optional vegetables or meats.
Pour and bake: Pour mixture into ramekins (about 3/4 full). Sprinkle extra Parmesan on top. Bake 15–20 minutes until eggs are set but slightly jiggly.
Serve: Garnish with extra herbs if desired and enjoy warm.

Notes

Don’t overfill ramekins; eggs expand slightly while baking.

For a creamier texture, add a spoonful of cottage cheese or Greek yogurt.

Avoid overbaking to keep the custard-like texture smooth.

Customize with your favorite vegetables, herbs, or lean protein.

Make-ahead: Bake in advance and refrigerate for up to 3 days, or freeze individual portions for quick breakfasts.
