Meanwhile PRE-HEAT the oven to 180 degrees Celsius or 350 degrees Fahrenheit and coat the oven dish with butter.
STIR crème fraîche, eggs and boursin with a whisk until you’ve reached a smooth mixture.
Finishing the macaroni and boursin gratin — 40 minutes
DRAIN the macaroni in a colander and stir the macaroni into the boursin mixture along with the ham. SEASON with pepper and salt.
