1
Preheat the oven to 400˚.
2
Mix the panko and the Parmesan together in a small bowl.
3
Heat the butter and olive oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-low heat until the butter fully melts. Add the leek, chives, a pinch of kosher salt and a few turns of freshly ground black pepper. Cook until the leek is just tender but not browned, about 3 minutes.
4
Add the panko and Parmesan and cook, stirring constantly, for 30 seconds.
5
Spoon the leeks and panko into the bottom of 4 5-oz. oven-safe ramekins, dividing evenly.
6
Crack an egg into each ramekin, and top each with 2 tablespoons of cream.
7
Transfer the ramekins to a baking sheet and cook for 8-12 minutes, or until the whites are firm, the yolk is just set and the cream is bubbling. Garnish with the reserved chives before serving.
