Boil the eggs for 10 minutes. Remove them from the water, let them cool slightly, peel them, and cut them in half.
Remove the yolks from the boiled eggs and mash them into a purée. Gradually add the raw egg yolks, one at a time.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese, fresh cream, and season with salt and a bit of pepper. Stir well until you achieve a thick, creamy consistency.
Fill the hollowed-out egg whites with the yolk mixture, leveling it to the edge. Sprinkle a little grated cheese on top and place the eggs in a buttered baking dish.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F) and bake the eggs for about 10 minutes, or until golden on top.
In a saucepan, combine the fresh cream, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a gentle boil. Let it thicken slightly, but not too much.
