Preparation steps

Pre-heat the oven to 220°C/425°F and prepare two baking sheet/tray with sheets of baking paper or parchment.

Heat the water and milk until just boiling. Remove from the heat and add the contents of MAGGI Mousline sachet, the butter and 1/2 tsp salt. Stir once and then allow to stand for a couple of minutes.

Add the egg yolks and gruyère cheese and mix. Add the chopped HERTA ham (Jambon de Paris) and the peas and mix quickly. Do not over beat the mixture.

In a clean dry bowl whisk the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Carefully fold these whisked egg whites into the potato mixture.
