Cook egg noodles in salted boiling water until al dente, about 8-10 minutes.

Drain noodles and set aside.

Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat.

Sauté chopped onion until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Add diced cooked ham to the skillet and cook until heated through, about 2-3 minutes.

Stir in the cooked noodles and mix well with the ham and onion.

Pour in cream and stir to combine evenly.

Add grated cheese and mix until melted and creamy.

Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg to taste.

Transfer mixture to a greased baking dish.

Beat an egg and pour over the noodle mixture, stirring gently to combine.

Sprinkle chopped parsley on top.

Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 20-25 minutes, until golden brown on top.
