Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400F. Butter a 12-ounce gratin dish.
Heat the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Once melted, add the onion and cook until starting to soften, about 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the garlic and cook 30 seconds more, stirring constantly. Spread this mixture into the bottom of the prepared gratin dish.
Pour the cream on top of the sautéed onion, and carefully crack in the eggs. Sprinkle on the feta, half of the herbs, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes.
Bake until the egg whites are set and the yolk is cooked to your desired level, about 10 to 12 minutes for eggs over medium (see Notes).
Sprinkle on the remaining half of the fresh herbs, and serve.

Bake Time: For eggs over medium, around 10 to 12 minutes at 400F is perfect. To make sure your yolks are runny, about 9 to 10 minutes is good. The eggs pictured here were cooked for about 17 minutes for ever-so-slightly-soft yolks.
Adjust Up to Feed More People: This recipe is easy to scale up to feed more people! If you’re making this for a crowd, you can cook this in a large baking dish instead of 12-ounce ramekins if you prefer.
