Ingredients
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 cup whole milk
- 4 eggs , room temperature, yolks and white will be used separately
- 1/2 cup ham , chopped
- 3/4 cup cheddar cheese , finely grated, plus more for topping
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
- cooking spray
- 2 tablespoons Bacon , cooked and crumbled
- 2 tablespoons chives , minced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
- In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour to form a roux. Continue to whisk until roux is a light brown (blond roux.)
- Slowly pour milk into the roux, whisking until smooth. Batter will be thick. Whisk in salt, nutmeg and black pepper. Remove from heat.
- In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks until pale and fluffy. Fold into roux along with shredded cheddar cheese and ham. Set aside.
- Whisk egg whites and cream of tarter until soft, fluffy peaks form. This process is incorporating air into the mixture, which is what increased the volume significantly.
- After egg whites are foamy and fluffy, gently fold them into the ham and cheddar mixture. Do not over mix, as this will push out the air.
- Prep 6 4-ounce ramekins with cooking spray and place onto a rimmed baking sheet. Spoon mixture evenly into each ramekin. Fill approximately 3/4 of the way.
- Bake for 30 minutes. Remove and top each with a pinch of cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon and chives.
- Serve immediately.
