Method (tap to check — screen stays awake)

  1. Heat the oven to 375F and butter four small ramekins.
  2. Spoon a tablespoon of cream into each ramekin and sprinkle with a little grated gruyere.
  3. Crack one egg into each ramekin, season with salt and pepper, and top with the remaining cheese.
  4. Set the ramekins in a baking dish and pour hot water halfway up their sides to make a bain-marie.
  5. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the whites are just set but the yolks remain runny, then scatter with chives and serve with toast.
