ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons dried chipotle powder
- 1 cup half-and-half
- 1⁄2 teaspoon dried cilantro
- salt and pepper
- 1 pinch sugar
- 1⁄3 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 2 large eggs
directions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees with a rack in the upper third of the oven. Butter 2 8-ounce ramekins.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Saute the garlic and the chipotle powder about 3 minutes or until garlic is softened.
- Add the half and half and bring to a simmer, stirring. Stir in cilantro, salt, pepper and sugar. Simmer, stirring occasionally for 10 minutes, until mixture has reduced by about one third and thickened slightly.
- Remove from heat and stir in the parmesan until melted. Reserve 1 Tablespoon of parmesan for sprinkling.
- Spoon half of the sauce into each ramekin. Break one egg into each ramekin and sprinkle with the reserved parmesan.
- Place ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the upper third of the oven for 12 minutes. White should be set and yolk slightly runny.
- Serve with toast or bread. A dollop of sour cream would also be nice, if you're splurging.
