Eggs in a Ham Cup

Nif's Note:

Another tasty recipe from Alberta Egg Producers. You can also use a microwave-proof wide mug if you don't have a ramekin or custard cup. You can cook more than one at a time, just make sure that they have cooked through; they should need more time the more you are cooking. Enjoy!

• Total Time: 8 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 3 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 1

• nonstick cooking spray
• 1 slice deli ham
• 1 teaspoon green onion , chopped
• 2 tablespoons shredded cheddar cheese , divided
• 2 eggs
• 2 tablespoons low-fat plain yogurt or 2 tablespoons low-fat sour cream
• fresh ground pepper , to taste
• 2 teaspoons fresh parsley , finely chopped

Directions:

1. Spray a 10 oz microwaveable ramekin or custard cup with vegetable spray. Place ham slice in ramekin. Sprinkle with onion and 1 tbsp shredded cheese.
2. In a small bowl, beat together eggs, yogurt and pepper until blended; pour into ham cup in ramekin. Sprinkle with parsley and remaining cheese. Cover loosely with plastic wrap, turning it back slightly to vent. Microwave on medium-high (70%) for 2-1/2 minutes to 3 minutes or until cooked as desired.
3. Remove from microwave but do not remove plastic wrap; let stand for 1 minute. Remove plastic wrap and serve.

Quick and easy to put together and the DM thoroughly enjoyed. I only used 1 egg but kept all the other ingredients the same and went with the plain yoghurt option. Thank you Nif, made for Went to Market.

This is so yummy. And just the smell of it was amazing. I'll do it again very soon. I feel like I'm going to eat that very often when I don't know what to eat. Cause it's made in just a few minutes. I used black forest ham. And my homemade fat-free yogurt. I'll have to try with fresh chives cause I don't like parsley. Thanks Nif :) Made for PAC Spring 2010
