Shirred Eggs

Ingredients:
1 whole egg
1/4 teaspoon unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon freshly picked thyme
1/2 teaspoon freshly picked oregano
1/2 tablespoon Parmigiano-Reggiano, Asiago, or Mozzarella cheese
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon cream
1/2 teaspoon basil and Italian flat-leaf parsley, chopped, optional

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
In a small, oven-safe ramekin, grease the bottom and sides with the butter or with non-stick spray.  First add the herbs, followed by half the cheese, then the egg, season lightly, the second half of the cheese, then the cream.  Place on a sheet pan and then into the oven, on the top rack, for approximately 12 to 14 minutes.  The white should be just set but the yolk still runny.  Remove, top with the basil and parsley, and serve.
