Baked Eggs and Ham
Ingredients:
4 eggs
8 tbsp diced ham
60g butter/marg
4 tbsp cream
salt and pepper
Method:
Heat oven to 190C. Place 15g butter in each of four ramekins and melt in a bain marie in oven. Add 2 tablespoons ham to each ramekin and season with salt and pepper. Break eggs into the individual dishes. Cover and return to oven for a few minutes. When eggs begin to set add one tablespoon of cream to each ramekin. Cover and cook a few minutes more until whites are set and yolks remain soft. Serve immediately with a slice of bread for dipping and a cherry tomato and a couple of slices of cucumber for garnish (optional). I have used milk instead of cream and it works just as well but not quite as rich and creamy. This is a great dish I make when I want something quick and easy and I am tempted to go and buy take away!
