Ingredients

8 slices (thinly sliced works best) ham (prosciutto,pepper, etc)or bacon,or turkey bacon

8 large eggs

1/2 cup or so grated cheese( I like havarti,or swiss for good flavor)

some chopped herbs(parsley, dill, etc)or a sprinkle of Mrs Dash

3 Tbsps or so half and half cream

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 F

Spray 8 ramekins(1/2 cup size) with cooking spray. ( ramekins are like oven proof custard cups)

Line ramekins with ham

Sprinkle about a Tbsp of cheese into each cup

Gently break one egg into a bowl then slide into ramekin so as not to break the yolk. Do this for each one.

Sprinkle egg with chopped herbs or Mrs Dash

Top with more cheese

Original recipe says to add a splash of milk and top with a pat of butter, but I just drizzle about a tsp or so of half and half cream over each.

Bake at 375 for about 15-18 min.

( I find 16 min to be good then let it sit for a couple of minutes. It depends if you like your yolk hard or slightly soft. We like it slightly soft)

Carefully remove eggs from ramekins and place on or beside some nicely toasted multi-grain bread. For brunch serve with a side salad and a variety of breads and muffins. I've impressed a few friends with it !!

Usually serve two per person
