Ingredients
  • 8 slices of bread
  • 8 tbspns butter
  • 4 slices of ham
  • 4 eggs
  • 4 tspns grated cheese
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C and grease 4 wells of a muffin pan with some butter.
  2. Cut off the crusts of the bread. Roll out the slices with e rolling pin until they are larger and thin. Brush the first one with melted butter and place a second slice on top, but a slight angle to make it look like a star shape. Brush this second bread slice with melted butter as well. Repeat this operation until you have four pairs.
  3. Press the bread carefully into the greased muffin wells to create a watertight cup.
  4. Place some chopped ham in each bread cup and the grated cheese.
  5. Mix the eggs in a measuring jug and season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour the egg in each bread cup.
  6. Bake until eggs are cooked through to your liking, approximately 10-12 minutes.
  7. Run a knife around the edge of each muffin well and pop the egg cups out.
  8. Serve warm immediately.
