Step 1

Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or individual ramekins so nothing sticks while baking. If you are using bread or English muffins, toast them lightly first. This helps them stay firm and not soggy once the sauce is added.

Step 2

Together with make the simple sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the flour and cook for about one minute. This removes the raw flour taste. Slowly pour in the milk while whisking. Keep stirring until the sauce thickens and becomes smooth. Season with a little salt, pepper, and a pinch of paprika or nutmeg if you like extra flavor.

Step 3

Now it is time to build the layers. Place the toasted bread at the bottom of your dish. Add a slice of ham on top of the bread, then sprinkle some cheese over it. Spoon a little of the warm sauce over the cheese. Carefully crack an egg on top of each stack. Add a bit more sauce around the egg, then sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top.

Step 4

Dish up and enjoy place the dish in the oven and bake for about 15 to 20 minutes. The exact time depends on how runny or firm you like your eggs. The whites should be set, and the yolks can be soft or slightly firm depending on your preference. Once done, remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
