Instructions
1
Prep
Heat the oven to 350F and butter a small individual baking dish, coating base and sides so the custard releases easily.
2
Whisk
In a bowl, whisk the eggs, heavy cream, nutmeg, and black pepper until fully blended and pale yellow with no streaks.
3
Fold
Fold the diced cooked ham, grated Gruyere, cheddar, and sliced scallion into the egg mixture until evenly distributed.
4
Bake
Pour into the buttered dish and bake at 350F for 35 to 40 minutes until the top is golden and centre just set.
5
Rest
Let the custard rest 10 minutes so it firms before serving.
6
Plate
Serve from the dish while still warm alongside dressed greens.
