Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped (about 1-½ cup)
  • ½ pound Swiss cheese, thinly sliced 12 slices
  • 6 large eggs
  • salt
  • pepper
  • ¼ cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoon dry white wine like Chardonnay
  • chopped chives for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325°F (162°C).
    Add oil to medium skillet and heat over medium heat. When oil begins to smoke, add chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally until softened and they have turned a light amber color (about 20 minutes).
    Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Line the bottom of 6 8-oz ramekins with Swiss cheese (2 slices per ramekin). Top each with about ¼ cup of onion. Crack one egg into each ramekin and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, add cream and wine. Beat with a wire whisk until well blended (about 1 minute). Pour mixture around eggs, dividing evenly between ramekins.
  • Place ramekins on a cookie sheet and bake uncovered until eggs are set to your liking using the guide below:
    runny yolks: 23-25 minutes
    set yolks: 35-40 minutes
    Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Garnish with chopped chives. Serve with buttered sourdough toast for dipping or you can use the egg mixture as a spread.
