Holiday Brunch: Ham & Egg Nests

Now that my sister and I are all grown up, we don’t wake up at the crack of dawn on Christmas to claw our way through presents. Instead, we like to mosey out of bed, get coffee with mom and dad, and enjoy a lazy breakfast around the fire. And while it’s nice to eat a festive meal on Christmas, none of us want to spend hours prepping an extravagant meal either.

That’s why these little ham and egg nests are just the trick. They’re more special (and tasty!) than your ho-hum scrambled eggs, but they take just about the same time to prepare. Depending upon your family’s taste, try incorporating mixed herbs into the egg mixture, subbing the Parmesan with other cheeses like jack cheese, or kicking it up a notch with a little cayenne. This is just a base to inspire all kinds of variations! Also, stay tuned tomorrow for a perfect side dish of baked apples.

12 slices of prosciutto
6 slices of whole wheat bread, about 1/2″ thick
6 eggs
3 tablespoons nonfat Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons Parmesan, shredded, plus more for sprinkling
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Coat six 1/2 cup ramekins (or a muffin tin) lightly with cooking spray or butter. Line each ramekin with 2 slices of prosciutto, pressing down gently. It’s okay if the prosciutto hangs over the edge a bit (it will just crisp up deliciously!).

Using the base of the ramekin as guide, cut 6 circles of bread. Place a round in the bottom of each ramekin. Bake until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes.  Then, remove from oven.

Ham & Egg Nests - pre cooking

In a medium bowl, whisk eggs until smooth, then add yogurt through pepper. Divide mixture evenly between cups and sprinkle with cheese. Please ramekins on a baking sheet or on top of foil to catch any egg spillage as they cook. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until eggs are set.
