Ingredients
The following ingredients have 2 Servings
- 1 1/2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 tbsp flour
- 1 1/4 cups milk ((full fat works best, though low fat does work))
- 1/3 cup grated gruyere cheese ((or tasty or cheddar), plus extra for sprinkling)
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1/4 tsp freshly ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Black pepper
- 6 large slices of fresh white bread ((Notes 1 and 2))
- 2 tbsp melted butter ((salted or unsalted))
- 6 eggs
- 100 g / 3 oz leg ham
- Fresh parsley (, finely chopped)
- Freshly ground nutmeg
Instruction
- Turn the oven on to 180C/350F.
- Cut the crusts off the bread, then roll out with a rolling pin until flattened.
- Press the bread into Texas muffin tins to form cups. Place into the oven (even if it is still heating up) for 5 minutes, just to dry the bread out a bit (Note 3). Don't let it brown.
