For an extra layer of richness, consider adding a tablespoon of crème fraîche to the egg mixture. Feel free to experiment with different cheese varieties, such as Emmental or Jarlsberg, to create your own signature flavor profile. For a vegetarian option, substitute the ham with sautéed mushrooms or spinach. Garnish with a sprig of fresh parsley or a sprinkle of paprika for an elegant touch.
