Step 1

Heat oven to 500 degrees. Butter a shallow 1 1/2-quart shallow baking dish (square or round). Pour cream in the prepared pan and sprinkle the cubed butter over the top. Add any cooked meat or vegetables, if using. Crack the eggs around the pan and season with nutmeg, salt, and pepper.

Step 2

Bake until the whites are set and the yolks are still a bit runny, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat, sprinkle with herbs and more flaky salt, and serve immediately, piping hot, with toasted bread or English muffins and shallow bowls. Drizzle the cream over the top.
