  1. 1

    Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the rice and cook according to package instructions until tender. Drain carefully and let cool for a few minutes.

    In a medium bowl, beat the eggs into an omelette. Add the fresh cream and milk while whisking. Season with salt, pepper and a pinch of nutmeg to flavor.

  3. 3

    Incorporate the cooked and warm rice into the mixture. Add the diced ham and half of the grated cheese. Mix gently until homogeneous.

  4. 4

    Preheat the oven to 180°C. Generously butter a gratin dish. Pour in the preparation and smooth the surface. Sprinkle the remaining grated cheese. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the top is golden brown.
