This was a dish that calcmandan posted about in a "what are you eating?" thread and I asked about it.

The Youtube link below is the one Daniel PM'd to me that gives a 12-minute tutorial on how to make and present the eggs. They look great!

I looked up recipes to copy and paste, for those of us who prefer to read print over watching videos, and though all the recipes for creamed eggs are similar, I couldn't find any that included shredded Gruyere and Dijon mustard like the recipe in the video. Also, the chef in the video served the eggs over beautiful garlic toast points.

This Serious Eats recipe below is the basic recipe. Photo is from Cook's Illustrated. I can't wait to try these!

Gordon Ramsay makes them similar, except he uses either heavy cream or creme fraiche.
