Hard Boiled Egg Gratin with Ham and Cheese Bechamel: A Comforting Classic

Serve hot with a crispy green salad or seasonal vegetables.
Tips for a perfect gratin
Avoid lumps by adding the milk little by little and stirring.
Do not overcook the eggs: they are already cooked, check them carefully.
Use a good cheese for more flavor.
Recipe variations
Hard-boiled eggs with spinach: add the sautéed spinach to the béchamel sauce.
Light version: opt for skimmed milk and light cream.
Adding mushrooms: perfect for adding texture and flavor.
How to store and reheat leftovers
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days.
Reheat in the oven at 160°C for 10 minutes. Avoid the microwave to preserve the texture of the eggs.
Food and drink pairings
This dish pairs well with a crisp green salad and a dry white wine such as Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc. For a non-alcoholic option, homemade lemonade or sparkling water with a slice of lemon will work well.
