These creamy, deliciously indulgent eggs are baked at high heat in cast iron skillet with heavy cream and butter, which thickens to a gravy as it cooks - perfect for a lazy weekend brunch. You can add some smoked salmon, cheese, ham or mushrooms to dress them up. These can be prepared in individual ramekins too.

1 tbsp Butter, cut into small cubes, plus more for greasing the pan
100 ml Heavy cream
6 Eggs
1 Large pinch of freshly grated nutmeg (optional)
Flaky sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Fresh herbs (chives, flat parsley, mint or basil)
Keto crackers (or bread, toasted) to serve

Preheat oven to 230C/450F. Pour cream into a greased cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet and sprinkle the cubed butter over the top. Add in some cheese, smoked salmon or bacon if you like.
Gently break an egg into a small bowl and slip egg into skillet. Repeat with remaining eggs. Season with nutmeg, salt and pepper.
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 with toasted bread or crackers.
