Zubereitung

1. 1

   Cut the day-old white bread into cubes of about two centimetres and cut the cooked ham into narrow strips.

2. 2

   Beat the eggs with the milk, the salt, the pepper and the nutmeg.

3. 3

   Grease a small ovenproof dish with the butter or margarine, layer the bread cubes and the ham in it and pour the egg custard evenly over the top.

4. 4

   Leave everything to soak, pressing the bread down once so that it takes up the custard.

5. 5

   Preheat the airfryer to 170 °C.

6. 6

   Stand the dish in the middle of the basket, in a single layer with space from the wall and the heating element, and do not stack anything on top; a second dish will not fit beside it. Bake at 170 °C.

7. 7

   Scatter the grated hard cheese over the top and finish baking at 170 °C until the crust is golden brown. The cooked ham and the egg mixture must reach 70 °C all the way through, measured at the thickest point. Do not turn it, as the bake sits in the dish and would fall apart.

8. 8

   Let the bake rest briefly, scatter the snipped chives over it and serve it in the dish.
