1/4 pint Soured Cream

5
Cover and cook in the oven for 35 minutes or until the eggs are set.
6
Meanwhile, cut each slice of bread into triangles or strips.
7
Melt the butter and oil together in a frying pan, then fry the bread, turning once, for 5 mins, or until crisp and golden.
8
Place the ramekins on a serving plate and arrange the fried bread around the dishes. Garnish with the parsley sprigs and serve immediately.
