shirr
Bake eggs gently
To shirr is to gather fabric into decorative parallel rows, creating a stretchy, textured effect: The bodice was shirred at the waist.
Shirring appears on waistbands, sleeves, and children's clothing.
In cooking, to shirr eggs is to bake them in a shallow dish, often with cream or butter: shirred eggs with herbs.
