Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the 1 tbsp butter in a 9-inch oven-safe skillet and put it in the oven to melt, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 2
Remove the skillet from the oven and swirl to coat the bottom with butter. Carefully crack the 4 eggs into the skillet, spacing them evenly.
Step 3
Pour the 1/2 cup heavy cream around the eggs, avoiding the yolks. Sprinkle with the 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
Step 4
Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still soft and jiggle slightly when the skillet is gently shaken.
Step 5
Sprinkle with the 2 tbsp chopped fresh herbs and a pinch of red pepper flakes if you like. Serve immediately straight from the skillet.
