Baked Egg in Ham Cups With Parmesan and Green Onion

"You don't have to wait until a special occasion, make these for your breakfast tomorrow. I entered the recipe as 1 egg so you can easily scale it to just the number you need. If serving a crowd, use your muffin tin/silpat. Just 1 or a few use a ramekin or silpat cup. Add other things to the cup as the spirit moves you!"

directions

  • Preheat oven to 375F.
  • Oil your ramekin (or silpat cup or muffin tin).
  • Place the ham inside of it, making a nice cup.
  • Crack your egg into the center.
  • Top with green onion and cheese.
  • Salt and pepper to taste.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes. I prefer the yolk still runny -- less time.
  • Pop onto your plate and serve.

  1. Excellent! Quick, easy, and very tasty. I used rosemary ham and cut them to size for putting inside a cupcake tin. Makes cleanup easier. I used seasoning salt and pepper to flavour with cheddar and mozzarella. Since I'm semi vegetarian, I added mushrooms, green peppers, and chives. 20-25 mins was just right as the egg wasn't so runny.

  2. Very good and easy to make. I used Hormel Natural Choice ham slices, which were the perfect size for my regular muffin tin. Baked for 15 minutes and the yolks were still a little runny. My husband really enjoyed these for something a little different for breakfast!
     
  3. Super easy and quick! Was a hit with the honey. I used peameal bacon and old shredded cheddar cheese. Baked the peameal bacon for 5 minutes first then added the egg, pepper, chives and cheddar and baked for 10 minutes.
     
  4. I love this. I've made it several times now. I've struggled a bit to get the consistency of the yolk just the way I like it, but I'm sure I'll get there. I've found I prefer finely chopped red onions over green onions in this, but otherwise leave the recipe as is.
     
  5. Excellent recipe - sprayed the ramekin with vegetable spray instead of oil. I used parmesan cheese but next time will experiment with some cheddar to give it a bit of a bite. Also, have to have a slightly thicker slice of ham as the base.

As I am in South Florida, I have many edible fruits and perennial veggies in my yard. So, I like to cook with them.
