Croque Madame Inspired Eggs

By Nadia Aidi
Croque Madame Inspired Eggs... obviously not traditional BUT delish. I tried so hard to say the croque madame well in english to not sound pretentious in my broken french 😂.

Ingredients 

  • 2 cups cubed crusty bread
  • 6 slices of ham, cubed, I used jambon de paris
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • Pinch of nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp grated gruyere
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chives to taste but I used a lot

Directions 

  • Preheat pan on high for 2 min. Lower to medium, add in butter and bread. Toast in the pan for about 5 min or until golden
  • Add in ham and sautee 2-3 min. Make a well in the center and add in your cream and nutmeg. Caramelize for about 3 min. Add cheese to the edges of the pan and your eggs in the center
  • Cook covered until set, top with black pepper, salt and lots of chives
