BAKED HAM AND EGG CUPS



Baked Ham and Egg Cups image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

12 thin slices Black Forest ham (about 10 ounces)
1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese
6 large eggs
6 tablespoons heavy cream
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line the ramekins with nonstick aluminum foil and place on a baking sheet.
  • 2. Stack 2 slices of ham directly on top of each other and fit into a ramekin to form a cup, making sure the ends of the ham hang over the ramekin slightly. Repeat with the remaining ham. Dividing evenly, sprinkle half of the cheese into the bottoms of the ham cups. Crack an egg into each and add 1 tablespoon cream. Divide the rest of the cheese, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper evenly among the cups.
  • 3. Bake until the egg whites are set and the yolks are still soft, 20 to 24 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway; some cups may cook faster than others. Sprinkle with the chives and then carefully lift the ham cups out of the foil so you do not tear the ham or break the shape of the cup. Place on a large platter or on individual plates and serve.

HAM AND EGG BREAKFAST CUPS



Ham and Egg Breakfast Cups image

These cunning little ham and cheese cups make for an easy breakfast or a fun brunch treat-you can even prep this recipe, easy as they are, the night before.

Provided by Molly Watson

Categories     Breakfast     Brunch

Time 30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 thin slices of ham
6 tablespoons cheddar cheese (grated)
2 green onions
6 eggs
1 tablespoon milk
Cooking oil spray

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Preheat an oven to 350 F.
  • Spray a muffin pan (6 tins) with cooking oil or grease with butter. Ideally, use a nonstick muffin pan. Line each tin with a piece of ham. Let the center of each piece of ham drop into the bottom of the tin, then press it down and along the edges, letting the ham fold to fit the tin. Put 1 tablespoon of cheese in the bottom of each ham-lined tin. Set aside.
  • Trim the green onions and finely chop the white and light green parts. Discard the dark green tops or reserve for another use. Divide the chopped green onion evenly between the 6 tins.
  • Crack the eggs into a medium bowl. Whisk the eggs until smooth, with no puddles of yolks or strings of whites. Add the milk and whisk to combine.
  • Divide the egg mixture evenly between the 6 tins. Pour the mixture gently into the tins. As you pour, some of the egg mixture may flow in between the tin and the ham-don't worry, that's why you've sprayed the tin with oil!
  • Bake until the egg mixture puffs slightly and is set, about 20 minutes.
  • Let the ham and egg cups sit a few minutes before removing them from the tins. Use a spoon or small spatula to gently remove the ham and egg cups from the tins.
  • Serve immediately (although they aren't bad just warm or even at room temperature). Enjoy!

GREEN EGGS AND HAM



Green Eggs and Ham image

Provided by Rachael Ray : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 32m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
2 large shallots, finely chopped
1 (10-ounce) box frozen chopped spinach, defrosted in microwave and liquids drained
1/3 to 1/2 cup heavy cream, eyeball it
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Freshly grated nutmeg, to taste
8 slices deli ham or prosciutto di Parma
8 eggs

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • In a medium skillet over medium heat, heat the extra-virgin olive oil and the butter and sweat the shallots a few minutes. Add the spinach and stir in the cream, season with salt, freshly ground black pepper and a little grated nutmeg. Cook the spinach, stirring occasionally, until the cream has thickened, 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning to your taste.
  • Fold each slice of ham or prosciutto in half and line the nonstick cups with 1 slice of meat each. Spoon a heaping tablespoon of the cooked spinach into each of the cups, then crack an egg into each, making sure it stays whole (hint - if you're worried about breaking the egg yolk, crack the egg into a small bowl first, then pour it into the muffin cup). Season the tops of the eggs with salt and freshly ground black pepper and bake in the oven until set, about 15 minutes. Allow the baked eggs to cool in the muffin cups for a couple of minutes before removing them from the pan. Serve immediately.

Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

  • Choosing the Right Eggs: For the best results, use fresh, large eggs. Fresh eggs will hold their shape better and produce a more tender and flavorful dish.
  • Cooking Temperature: Cook the egg cups at a moderate temperature (350-375°F) to prevent the eggs from overcooking and becoming rubbery.
  • Proper Baking Time: Bake the egg cups for the recommended time or until the eggs are set and the egg white is no longer translucent. Overcooking can make the eggs tough and dry.
  • Muffin Tins: Use a well-greased muffin tin to ensure the egg cups come out cleanly and easily. You can also use silicone muffin cups for a non-stick option.
  • Adding Mix-Ins: Feel free to experiment with different mix-ins such as chopped ham, bacon, cheese, vegetables, or herbs to customize the egg cups to your liking.

Conclusion:

Green eggs and ham cups are a delightful and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. With their simple ingredients and easy preparation, they are perfect for busy mornings or as a quick and satisfying meal. Whether you follow the classic recipe or add your own creative touches, these egg cups are sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. So, gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and get ready to indulge in the deliciousness of green eggs and ham cups!
