Equipment
- Oven safe pan
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons (28 g) butter
- 1/2 onion finely chopped
- 3/4 teaspoon (4.5 g) salt
- 1/4 teaspoon (0.5 g) ground black pepper
- 8 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup (113 g) Swiss or cheddar cheese grated
- 1 cup (140 g) ham diced
- 1 tablespoon (4 g) chopped fresh herbs like parsley, thyme, or dill
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Melt the butter in an oven-safe pan and sweat the onions with half the salt over low heat until very soft. Between 10-15 minutes.
- Scramble the eggs in a bowl with the cream and remaining salt and pepper. Stir in the cheese. Pour the mixture into the pan and cook on low heat until the bottom starts to set.
- Sprinkle the ham on top of the eggs.
- Place the pan in the oven and cook for 10-15 minutes, until the top is just set. The eggs should be puffed up and look cooked but still jiggle just a bit. Be careful not to overcook or the eggs will dry out. The eggs will keep cooking after you remove it from the oven.
- Remove from the oven and cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with herbs and serve in slices.
