• Ready In: 25 mins
• Serves: 2-4

Ingredients

• 6  ounces  thinly sliced ham
• 4  ounces cheese (Swiss, cheddar, Comte, brie, whatever you like)
• 4  tablespoons sour cream or 4  tablespoons creme fraiche
• 4  eggs
•  salt
•  black pepper

Directions

1. Tear or cut the ham into small pieces. Chop or shred the cheese. Combine cheese and ham and divide evenly among 4 one-cup ramekins. (You could add other flavorings at this point as well, such as mustard, hot sauce, or anything else you like.) Add 1 tbsp sour cream to each cup, then top with one egg. Season with salt and pepper.
