Ingredients

  • Oil neutral taste
  • 3 pcs. Egg
  • 20 gram Parmesan approximately
  • 1 slices Ham serrano
  • 50 gram Whipping Cream
  • Salt and Pepper

Instructions

  • Spray the glasses with cooking spray or lightly coat them with a bit of oil.
  • If you are using slices of meat, break/cut them into smaller pieces and distribute them in the glasses.
  • Whisk eggs together with Parmesan, heavy cream, salt, and pepper.
  • Pour half of the egg mixture into one glass and the other half into the second glass.
  • It is important that the glasses are filled about 4/5 full - if there is too little in the glasses, they will float around in the water bath, and if there is too much, the egg custard will overflow.
  • Put the lids on and place the glasses in your water bath.
  • Cook them at 77 degrees Celsius (171 degrees Fahrenheit) for 1 hour and 10 minutes.
  • The egg custard is now ready to serve.
