• 5 place 1 tbs cream and 1/2 tbs of butter in each dish and place under the broiler for about 3 minutes, until hot and bubbly.
• 6 quickly, but carefully, pour 3 eggs into each gratin dish and sprinkle evenly with the herb mixture, then sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper.

• 8 the eggs will continue to cook after you take them out of the oven.
