Instructions:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
