Method

  • step 1

    Mix the double cream, egg and chives together in a medium bowl, and season with a generous grating of nutmeg, a pinch of salt and plenty of ground black pepper.

  • step 2

    Divide the ham hock pieces and chopped potatoes between four ramekins, then top up with the egg and cream mixture. Will keep chilled for up to two days.

  • step 3

    Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4, or if using an air fryer heat to 180C. Sprinkle over the grated cheese, then transfer the ramekins to a baking tray if using an oven or the air fryer basket. Bake for 15-17 mins in the oven or 7-10 mins in the air fryer until golden and set with a slight wobble in the middle. Serve with crusty bread for dunking, if you like.

Great dish I altered it a bit, I cooked a bit of black pudding and then cut into small pieces and then fried very small pieces of chorizo added with shredded ham and a small amount of garlic. You can alter it as far as your imagination allows. Great starter dish, also used really fine slices of…

I pre cooked some baby potatoes so they were just cooked let cool and sliced very thinly, they seem to taste much nicer than tinned potatoes.

This was absolutely delicious. Can make 5 portions, depending on the size of your ramekin. I baked it for a bit longer than they said.

I’ve used a ready cooked ham hock for this dish and it came out quite nice. Maybe next time I’ll add mustard to boost the flavours. It is quite a rich dish and filling, so okay to keep the portions small for a starter. I’ll make this again, quick and easy.
