Celery-Ham Gratin

Ingredients

• 4 stalks celery
• 200 g sliced cheese (e.g., Tilsiter, Gouda...)
• 6 slices cooked ham (halved)
• 3 eggs
• 200 g Sour Cream
• 150 ml whipping cream (at least 30% fat)
• 1 bunch chives
• Salt
• pepper (ground)
• nutmeg
• dill (for garnish)

Instructions

1. 1.

   Preheat the oven to 200°C with upper and lower heat. Wash, trim, and cut the celery into about 12 pieces of 6 cm length. Take ¼ of the cheese and grate it; cut the remaining cheese into 12 sticks. Wrap each celery piece with a cheese stick inside a slice of ham.

2. 2.

   Whisk the eggs with sour cream and whipping cream, add chives, and season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Place the ham-wrapped celery rolls in a buttered baking dish, pour the egg mixture over them, and sprinkle grated cheese on top. Bake on the middle rack for 20-25 minutes until golden. Garnish with dill and serve immediately.
