Nest Eggs Recipes

SCOTTY'S NEST EGGS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Grease large muffin tins with Pam. Rip/shred the ham to fit around the muffin tin, making sure the bottom and sides are covered. Break egg over top of ham. Add cream and sprinkle with cheese and basil. (can be done ahead of time) Bake 12 - 15 minutes. (place water in any unused muffin cups to prevent damage).
• Serve on half of a toasted english muffin.
• The amount of the basil is only a guideline. Dried basil can be used quite successfully.

EGG IN A POTATO NEST

Steps:

• Spray four ½ or ¾ cup (125 or 175 mL) ramekins with cooking spray.
• Stir together hash brown potatoes and cheese. Divide mixture between ramekins, covering bottoms and pushing mixture slightly up sides to form a nest.
• Crack one egg into each nest. Pierce egg yolks with toothpick or fork several times. Place ramekins in microwave.
• Microwave on Medium-High (70% power) until whites are set and yolks are cooked as desired, 3-½ to 4 minutes. If yolks are slightly underdone, let stand for 1 minute to continue cooking.
