Baked Eggs with Ham and Gruyère

A simple yet delicious baked egg dish, perfect for brunch or a light dinner. Flavored with ham, Gruyère cheese, and a touch of cream.

Ingredients

  • olive oil (1 tablespoon)
  • ham (0.5 cup)
  • Gruyère cheese (2 tablespoon)
  • heavy whipping cream (0.5 cup)
  • eggs (2 large)
  • chopped chives (0.25 teaspoon)
  • salt (0 )
  • ground black pepper (0 )

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a small, lidded casserole dish with olive oil. Boil water in a kettle and set aside.
  2. Arrange ham in the bottom of the prepared casserole dish. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon Gruyère cheese. Pour in cream and season with black pepper. Crack eggs on top, one at a time, making sure yolks remain intact. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon Gruyère cheese and chives. Season with salt and black pepper.
  3. Cover the casserole dish and place it into a roasting pan. Pour enough boiled water into the roasting pan so it reaches about halfway up the sides of the casserole dish.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 9 minutes. Uncover and continue baking until whites are just set and yolks are still runny, 3 to 6 more minutes.
