Steps:
- Butter six 3/4-cup ramekins. Bring milk and bay leaf to simmer in small saucepan. Remove from heat. Cover; let steep 15 minutes. Discard bay leaf.
- Meanwhile, cook potatoes in medium saucepan of boiling salted water until very tender, about 15 minutes. Drain. Place potatoes in medium bowl. Add warm milk, shallots, butter, rosemary, and thyme; mash until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Divide potato mixture among ramekins. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before continuing.)
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Carefully crack 1 egg over potatoes in each ramekin. Spoon 1 tablespoon cream over each egg. Sprinkle each with 1 tablespoon Parmesan. Place ramekins in 13x9x2-inch metal baking pan. Pour enough hot water into baking pan to come halfway up sides of ramekins. Bake until egg whites are gently set but yolks are still soft, about 17 minutes. Remove ramekins from baking pan. Sprinkle chives over and serve.
CODDLED EGGS
Coddling is a gentle steaming method that yields a tender egg. The eggs are cooked individually in coddling cups-ceramic cups with screw-on lids available at kitchen-supply stores. Four-ounce baby-food jars can be used as well. Garnish with chopped herbs, onion, or cooked bacon.

Steps:
- Line the bottom of a saucepan with a kitchen towel. Fill the pan with enough water to come just below the rim of the coddlers. Place over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil.
- Butter the insides of each coddler. Pour 1/2 teaspoon heavy cream in each. Add one egg; season with salt and pepper. Screw on lids tightly. Carefully place egg coddlers into boiling water.
- Reduce heat to medium, and simmer for 4 minutes. Turn off heat, cover pan, and let stand for 6 to 7 minutes. Remove coddlers from water, unscrew lids, and serve immediately.
INDIVIDUAL BAKED EGGS
A very easy idea with a minimum of fuss or muss for any number of people. Individual Baked Eggs surrounded by a strip of bacon, and topped with a square of cheese. These eggs take on a very pleasing flavor just by baking instead of cooking them in the more conventional manner. Great not having splatters all over, and being able to do 12 or more eggs at one time.

CODDLED EGGS WITH FINES HERBES
The easiest way to coddle eggs is to place them in egg coddlers, special containers with tight-fitting lids, but you can also use ramekins or custard cups covered tightly with foil. Fines herbes is a combination of chopped fresh herbs, most often those below, but sometimes including others such as marjoram or savory.

- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly coat four egg coddlers with cooking spray, and set aside. Lightly coat a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Place bread cubes on baking sheet; sprinkle with pepper. Bake until golden and crisp on all sides, turning them once during cooking, about 7 minutes. Remove from oven; set aside.
- Line bottom of a large saucepan with a kitchen towel, and fill with enough water to come just below rim of egg coddlers. Place pan over medium-high heat; bring water to a boil. Combine herbs in a small bowl, and mix well. Place 2 teaspoons mixed herbs in the bottom of each coddler; to each, add 1 whole egg and 1 egg white, and drizzle with 1 teaspoon heavy cream. Add 1/4 teaspoon salt to each, and season with pepper. Screw lids on tightly.

Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use duck eggs or goose eggs instead of chicken eggs.
- Add a tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese or crumbled feta cheese to the mashed potatoes for extra flavor.
- If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs instead. Just use half the amount of dried herbs as you would fresh herbs.
