I made these this morning. I added sage to the egg and ham mixture. My husband really enjoyed the saltiness of the ham and sweetness of the apples.

This is quick, easy, and tasty. And yes they forgot to tell you to mix in the cream with the egg mixture before baking

I am assuming the whipping cream is to be combined with the eggs. Is this correct or am I missing something here???
