How to Make It
1. Preheat your oven to 180°C.
2. Cut a slit in the croissant and hollow it out slightly to create space for the filling.
3. Sprinkle half the grated cheese inside the croissant. Crack an egg carefully into the hole.
4. Add the ham over the egg, then sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the egg white is set but the yolk is still soft. (Cook longer if you prefer a firmer yolk.)
