Baked Creamed Eggs

This dish is pure decadence. Eggs, Prosciutto, spinach and Gruyere cheese combine to make this a lasting Sardine favorite. Served with freshly baked baguette to soak up every last bit of perfectly cooked egg yoke. Easy enough to make at home, but timeless with sweeping views of Lake Monona. Bon Apetit!
