No recipe for this, just a method basically. Line a cupcake tin with your choice of thin meat -- lunch meat ham, or perhaps proscuitto. I used shaved ham, and it was rather delicate, with many gaps, so I used quite a few shaved slices to plug gaps, and I lightly buttered the cupcake tin in order to make sure the egg released, if it leaked through the ham. One the ham was layered, I grated a bit of Gruyere over the ham, and sprinkled about 1/2 teaspoon of cream. I cracked one egg into each cup, and added another 1/2 teaspoon of cream, and a bit more Gruyere. I topped each egg with crumbled bacon bits and seasonings, and baked at 350 for about 15 minutes.
I guess that *is* a recipe, isn't it?
I enjoy eggs done this way. So simple and tasty. Sometimes when I get everyone off to work and school I make me an egg something like this, very comforting and holds me longer than a bowl of cereal. I like your healthy changes for 2009. I also hope to make less food waste and floss more!! I have got to increase my water intake too!
ReplyDeleteRecipe or not, it LOOKS fantastic. I'll take one of those for dinner, please. :)

Thanks for the great idea! I made this for a light lunch today--along with some whole wheat toast and some fresh fruit. It was delicious!
