Brunch 30 Mins.

Ingredients

1

1 servings

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons Freshly grated Gruyère cheese
  • 2 tablespoons ham steak, cut into small cubes
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 slices crusty bread
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 pinch of flaky sea salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • red pepper flake
  • finely chopped fresh chive
  • small ramekin or cocotte with lid, or foil if the ramekin doesn't have a lid

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Bring about 2 cups of water to a boil in a small saucepan.
  • Carefully crack the eggs into a ramekin or small cocotte. Add the cream, kosher salt, Gruyère, and ham.
  • Cover the ramekin with a lid or foil and place in a high-walled baking dish. Carefully pour the boiling water into the dish, so it comes about two-thirds of the way up the sides of the ramekin.
  • Carefully transfer the entire dish to the oven and bake for 20 minutes, until the egg whites are cooked but the yolks are still runny.
  • Meanwhile, heat a medium pan over medium-high heat. Spread the butter over both sides of the bread and toast in the pan for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
  • Remove the baking dish from the oven and carefully lift the ramekin out.
  • Garnish the eggs with flaky salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and chives. Serve with the toasted bread.
  • Enjoy!
