Method

Fry the gammon slices. Remove all the fat and rind, chop the gammon finely and allow to get quite cold.

Blend the butter and cheese in a blender or with a wooden spoon. Mix in the chopped gammon, the herbs and the seasoning. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until they froth and then mix them, little by little, into the butter and cheese until the mixture is like a heavy cream.
