Ingredients
2 eggs
1 rounded tsp. Dijon mustard (a healthy squirt)
A pinch of salt
White pepper or finely ground black pepper
1 tbsp. finely chopped chives or chopped tarragon (optional)
2 tbsp. good butter
¼ cup crème fraîche
A handful of shredded Gruyère or Comté or 2 deli slices of domestic Gruyère
2 thin slices of cooked ham (preferably French-style ham, such as Madrange, or prosciutto cotto)
Preparation
Step 1
In a small bowl, whisk the eggs, mustard, a pinch of salt and pepper, and the herbs, if using.
Step 2
In a large nonstick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat, swirling the pan to coat.
Step 3
When the butter foams, add the eggs and let them settle for a few seconds.
Step 4
Gently lift the skillet and begin swirling the eggs until they reach the edges of the pan.
Step 5
When the eggs begin to dry, remove the skillet from the heat. Spread with the crème fraîche.
Step 6
Arrange the cheese and ham down the center of the eggs.
Step 7
Fold in the sides (like swaddling a doll), creating a cone shape.
