Prepare Ham and Swiss:
- Fold each ham slice in half and arrange them side by side in the prepared baking pan.

Season and Bake:

Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your desired doneness.
-
Rest and Serve:
- Remove the pan from the oven and let it stand for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to settle.
