Breakfast in a pot – these baked eggs are super-quick to make and cook!
Perhaps you may prefer one for lunch or tea?



Ingredients
Serves One
1 x 30g/1oz slice of ham
4 fresh basil leaves
1 tbsp half-fat crème fraîche
1 large free-range egg
1 tbsp grated Red Leicester Cheese*
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

olive oil, for drizzling
squeeze of lemon
slice of bread** (optional)

Method
1. Preheat the oven to 170C/150C Fan/Gas 3½.
2. Arrange the ham in the bottom of a ramekin dish so that it forms a cup and place the basil inside. Spoon in the crème fraîche and crack in the egg. Sprinkle over the Red Leicester and season with salt and pepper.
3. Place the ramekin on a baking tray and bake for 15 minutes, or until cooked but the yolk is still a little runny.
4. Put the salad leaves on a plate, dress with a drizzle of oil and a squeeze of lemon juice and serve with the ham and egg pot.

This looks really good and I happen to have some left over ham. Thanks for including the cheese substitution article. I don't think we have that cheese over here.

That's a very interesting way to do eggs and ham. I'll have to give it a try. We had Rustic Ratatouille for dinner this evening.

Hmmm, this sounds very yummy! On the list, but will try the airfryer for it? Our oven takes forever...

I would prefer baked ham and egg pots at breakfast. Not easy to buy Red Leicester cheese here, I will use ceddar cheese.
