Method

Start by melting the butter in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.

Slowly pour in the milk while stirring, whisking until the sauce thickens (about 5 minutes).
Add the grated cheese, and season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg if desired.
Cut the hard-boiled eggs in half lengthwise and wrap each half snugly in a slice of chicken ham.
Arrange the wrapped eggs in a baking dish, cut side up.
Pour the béchamel sauce generously over the egg bundles.
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 15–20 minutes, until golden and bubbly.
