A savory puffed oven pancake with ham and Gruyère, baked in a small skillet or dish.

Ingredients

½ tablespoon butter salted or unsalted
1 large egg
¼ cup milk
½ teaspoon stone-ground mustard
⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 ounce chopped ham (roughly one deli slice)
1 ounce shredded Gruyère (approximately ¼ cup)

Directions

Heat the oven to 400°F. Put the butter in a 6½-inch skillet or 5-inch dish and let it melt in the oven as it heats.
Whisk the egg, milk, mustard, salt, and nutmeg together. Whisk in the flour until smooth, then stir in the ham and cheese.
Swirl the melted butter around the hot skillet and pour in the batter right away.
Bake for about 20 minutes, until puffed and browned at the edges. Let it rest briefly before eating.
