Number Of Ingredients 8

4 ounces bacon (4 strips), diced
1 tablespoon snipped fresh chives
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
12 large eggs
2 tablespoons crumbled fresh goat cheese
2 tablespoons grated fontina, Gruyere, or mild white cheddar cheese
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cook bacon in a medium saute pan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. In a small bowl, combine chives and parsley.
  • Butter six 8-ounce ramekins, and add bacon to each, dividing evenly. Crack two eggs into each ramekin, being careful not to break the yolks. Place ramekins in a roasting pan, and pour in enough steaming hot water to reach halfway up the sides of ramekins. Cover pan tightly with foil; bake 20 minutes.
  • Carefully remove pan from oven. Dividing evenly, sprinkle two ramekins carefully with goat cheese; sprinkle another two ramekins with fontina. Top each of remaining two ramekins with 1 tablespoon mixed herbs. Cover pan again and continue baking for another 10 minutes. Remove pan from oven.
  • Using tongs, carefully remove ramekins from water bath. Season eggs with salt and pepper, and serve immediately.
