Preparation

  3. Butter the insides of your baking dish or ramekins to prevent sticking.
  4. Place the pastry in the prepared dishes, pressing down slightly to fit.
  5. In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs and heavy cream until smooth. Add salt, pepper, thyme, and chives.
  6. Stir in most of the shredded cheese, saving some for topping.
  7. Pour the egg mixture into the pastry shells, filling them almost to the top.
  8. Sprinkle the reserved cheese over each filled pastry.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and the eggs are set.
  10. Remove from oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
  11. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
