Baked Eggs With Ham And Gruyere

• 2 ounces uncured ham, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 2 large eggs
• 2 ounces gruyere, grated
• black pepper

1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Place uncured ham in the bottom of 2 small oven-proof crocks or ceramic bakers.
2. Add 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, 1/2 teaspoon thyme, and 1 tablespoon heavy cream to each crock.
3. Carefully break 1 egg into each crock. Sprinkle each with 1 ounce Gruyere and black pepper to taste.
4. Place crocks on a sturdy baking sheet. Bake for 5 minutes or until eggs are mostly set.
5. Turn the broiler on high and move crocks to the top oven rack, just beneath the broiler. Broil for 1 to 2 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
6. Remove the crocks from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
