Ham and egg mushroom cups with black pepper and olive oil is a delicious, protein-packed dish perfect for breakfast or brunch. This recipe combines the savory flavors of ham and mushrooms with the richness of eggs and a hint of black pepper, all brought together with a touch of olive oil. It's not only tasty but also simple to prepare, making it an ideal choice for both busy mornings and relaxed weekend meals.
Instructions:
- Thoroughly clean the mushrooms using a damp paper towel or a mushroom brush.
- Carefully remove the stems and gently scoop out the gills to create a cavity large enough to hold the filling. Set the mushroom caps aside.
- Dice the ham into small, bite-sized pieces.
- Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat them lightly.
- Mix in the diced ham, black pepper, and half of the olive oil (7g or about 1/2 tbsp). Stir until well combined.
- Brush the mushroom caps with the remaining olive oil, ensuring the caps are well-coated to prevent sticking and to add flavor.
- Place the mushroom caps on a baking tray lined with parchment paper or a lightly greased baking dish.
- Carefully spoon the egg and ham mixture evenly into each mushroom cap. Make sure the filling is level and nicely spread to ensure even cooking.
- Place the baking tray in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the mushrooms are tender.
- If you prefer a slightly browned top, you can broil the mushroom cups for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end, keeping a close watch to prevent burning.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a couple of minutes before serving.
- Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Ham and Egg Mushroom Cups with a fresh sprinkle of black pepper on top if desired.
Tips:
- Use fresh, large mushrooms to ensure they hold the egg mixture well.
- Pre-cook the mushrooms lightly before adding the eggs to remove excess moisture and enhance their flavor.
- For added flavor, consider sprinkling a bit of cheese or fresh herbs like parsley or chives on top before serving.
- If you prefer a runny yolk, keep an eye on the baking time and adjust accordingly.
- Experiment with different types of ham or even substitute with turkey or prosciutto for a different taste.
