Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Butter four 8-ounce ramekins or custard cups. Set a kettle of water to boil.
- Meanwhile, in a medium skillet, heat 2 tablespoons butter over medium-low. Add bread; cook, tossing occasionally, until lightly browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, and transfer to a bowl; reserve skillet.
- Melt remaining tablespoon butter in skillet over medium. Add onion; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Dividing evenly, spoon onion into ramekins, and top with croutons. Gently break 1 egg into each ramekin (keeping the yolk intact, see below). Top each egg with 1 tablespoon cream, and season with salt and pepper. Place ramekins in an 8-inch square baking dish, and pour enough boiling water to come halfway up side of ramekins. Bake until whites are set, 15 to 18 minutes.
- Carefully remove ramekins from water bath, and serve immediately.
