This savoury baked egg custard with Gruyère and chives is an elegant addition to any brunch or light lunch menu. The combination of nutty Swiss cheese and fresh, onion-scented chives creates a sophisticated flavour profile, while the addition of cream cheese ensures a rich, velvety texture that melts in the mouth. It is a wonderfully versatile vegetarian dish that feels special enough for a weekend gathering yet remains simple enough for a midweek meal.
Requiring just a handful of whisked ingredients and a short time in the oven, this bake is exceptionally easy to prepare. It is best enjoyed alongside a crisp green salad or some buttery sourdough toast. Whether served as a warm, comforting centrepiece or enjoyed at room temperature for a spring picnic, this custard is a reliable crowd-pleaser.
