Baked Eggs with Ham and Gruyère

Creamy oven-baked eggs are smothered in bubbling golden Gruyère and sprinkled with fresh thyme.

Prep Time: 10 mins | Cook Time: 7 mins | Yield: 2 baked eggs | Serving Size: 1 baked egg

Ingredients:
2 oz. (55g) uncured ham, thinly sliced (about 2 slices)
2 TB. unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 tsp. fresh thyme
2 TB. heavy cream
2 large eggs
2 oz. (55g) Gruyère, grated
Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Place uncured ham in the bottom of 2 small ovenproof crocks or ceramic bakers. (Alternately, you can use 2 4-inch (10cm) cast iron skillets.)
2. Add 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, 1⁄2 teaspoon thyme, and 1 tablespoon heavy cream to each crock.
3. Carefully break 1 egg into each crock. Sprinkle each with 1 ounce Gruyère and black pepper to
taste.
4. Place crocks on a sturdy baking sheet. Bake for 5 minutes, or until eggs are mostly set.
5. Turn the broiler on high and move crocks to the top oven rack, just beneath the broiler. Broil for 1 to 2 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
6. Remove crocks from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes before serving.

Tip: If you can’t find Gruyère, use Baby Swiss or another mild cheese that won’t overpower the subtle flavors of this dish.
