Jacques Pepin'S Gratin Of Eggs

Jacques Pepin'S Gratin Of Eggs


1. Slice eggs and arrange them in one 4 to 6 cup gratin dish (or do individual gratins if you like).

2. Melt butter in a saucepan and when hot, add onions; cook them over medium heat, stirring occasionally for 2 or 3 minutes until they sizzle and have just started to brown.

3. Add flour, mix well, and cook for 30 seconds.

4. Add milk, salt, pepper; stirring constantly, bring mixture to a boil then lower the heat and let sauce simmer gently for about a minute.

5. Pour over the eggs in the gratin dish.

6. Mix the sauce and eggs gently, sprinkle with grated Swiss cheese, and bake in a 400 degree oven for about 10 to 12 minutes.

7. Place under the broiler for another 4 or 5 minutes to brown the top.

8. Serve immediately.

9. Another option is to arrange the egg/sauce mixture on top of some thinly sliced smoked ham--.
