  • About

The name of this baked ham and egg custard seasoned with thyme derives from a dance called rigadoon with light and graceful movements, said to have been created by M. Rigaud, a seventeenth-century dancing master in Marseilles. This dish is a specialty of Burgundy; there is also a sweet version from the region which contains ground spices and chopped hazelnuts.
