Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Large eggs
- 6 pieces Thick-cut ham slices
- 1 cup Swiss cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Ground Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is golden and smooth, forming a roux.
Gradually whisk in the milk, heavy cream, mustard, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring often, until the sauce thickens to a creamy consistency. Remove from heat and stir in half of the shredded Swiss cheese until melted and smooth.
In the prepared baking dish, arrange the ham slices, one for each serving. Crack one egg on top of each slice of ham, making sure the yolk stays intact.
Pour the prepared cheese sauce evenly over the top of the eggs and ham. Sprinkle the remaining Swiss cheese over the dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain slightly runny (or cook longer for firmer yolks, if desired).
Once baked, sprinkle the dish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
Serve hot with toasted bread, biscuits, or grits for a hearty Southern-inspired meal.
