Baked eggs with ham and spices

Baked eggs with ham and spices is a simple yet delightful dish that's perfect for breakfast or brunch. Combining the savory flavor of ham with the richness of a baked egg, and a dash of spices for an extra kick, this recipe is both easy to make and absolutely delicious. It's perfect for those who want a quick meal without sacrificing taste.

Ingredients:

2 slices ham
55g
1 egg
54g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
1/8 tsp paprika
1/4g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This allows the oven to reach the desired temperature by the time you are ready to bake your eggs.
2. Prepare the Ham:
Take two slices of ham and lay them flat on a clean surface. If the slices are large, you can fold or cut them to fit well in a ramekin or baking dish later on.
3. Prepare the Baking Dish:
Choose a small baking dish or ramekin that can comfortably hold the ham and egg. Lightly grease the dish with a bit of cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
4. Assemble the Dish:
Place the ham slices into the prepared baking dish, creating a small “nest” in the center for the egg. The slices can overlap slightly, and you can press them up the sides of the dish if needed.
5. Crack the Egg:
Carefully crack the egg into a small bowl to ensure there are no shell pieces. Then gently pour the egg into the center of the ham nest in the baking dish.
6. Season the Egg:
Sprinkle a dash of salt and a dash of black pepper evenly over the egg. Then, add 1/8 teaspoon of paprika for an extra layer of flavor and a pop of color.
7. Bake:
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolk is cooked to your liking. You can bake longer if you prefer a firmer yolk.
8. Serve:
Once the eggs are done, remove the baking dish from the oven. Allow it to cool for a minute or two, then carefully transfer the baked eggs and ham to a plate using a spatula.
9. Enjoy:
Serve your baked eggs with ham and spices immediately. They make for a delicious and simple breakfast, perfect on their own or with some toast on the side.

Tips:

- For a more flavorful experience, consider using smoked ham.

- Use fresh, high-quality eggs for the best results.

- Feel free to add other spices or herbs to suit your taste; chives or parsley work particularly well.

- Serve the baked eggs with a slice of toasted bread to soak up the yolk.

- If you prefer a runny yolk, reduce the baking time slightly.

This baked eggs with ham and spices recipe is a quick and easy way to enjoy a nutritious and tasty meal. Whether it's for a weekend brunch or a light dinner, it's sure to be a hit. The combination of ham, egg, and spices creates a harmonious balance of flavors that will leave you satisfied. Enjoy!
