Method

Set the oven to gas mark 6 or 200°C. Whisk the egg whites, with a pinch of salt, to stiff peaks.
In another bowl, but using the same beaters, whisk the egg yolks with the goat’s cheese, half the Parmesan, the cream and half the thyme leaves, chopped, if you prefer. Season.
Stir about one third of the egg whites into the cheese mixture, then fold in the rest.
Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan in the dishes. Divide the mixture between them and sprinkle with the rest of the chopped thyme.
Place on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 mins until puffed up and golden. Garnish with thyme sprigs. Serve immediately.
