Grill the tops of the bagels and place cut side up on an oven tray.
- 2
Mix Gruyére and sour cream (or crème fraiche if using) together.
- 3
Layer ham onto cut bagel tops and smother in cheese mixture.

Return bagels to the grill until the cheese is melted and delicious, whilst bringing a pot of water to a simmer to poach two eggs for 3-4 minutes depending on your preferred degree of runniness - the French like theirs very runny.
