Gradually pour in the milk while whisking to avoid lumps.
Leave to thicken over low heat, stirring constantly.
Off the heat, add 100 g of grated cheese and mix until melted.
Season with salt, pepper and a pinch of nutmeg.
3. Assemble the gratin
Preheat the oven to 200°C (gas mark 6-7).
Butter a gratin dish. Arrange the egg halves, cut side down.
Tear the slices of ham into pieces and distribute them around the eggs.
Cover generously with cheesy béchamel.
4. Finish and brown
Sprinkle the remaining grated cheese on top, then add a thin layer of breadcrumbs for extra crispiness.
Bake for 20 minutes, until the top is golden brown and browned.
Accompaniment suggestions
Serve this gratin with a green salad for a touch of freshness.
A slice of crusty bread will be perfect for dipping the béchamel!
Chef’s tip
For a change, you can add cooked spinach or potato slices between the eggs and ham. This will make it even more delicious!
