I found these dainty little egg cups on Pinterest just before Easter and thought they would be perfect for brunch. Of course my lovely friend always cooks as if we multiply like bunnies!
So this was my contribution...
Hibiscus Flower Champagne
Which come to think of it would look quite cute next to the flowery shape of an egg cup!
Easter being what it is we indulged in everything cheesy, chocolaty, sweet and savory that we could get our hands on! I didn't think I would ever need to eat again (I didn't say want).
Monday....groooaaan.
{As the mad hatter would put it, I had lost much of my muchness.}
I sauntered home from work tonight exhausted from my ridiculously gluttonous weekend and day that ran about 8 hours too long. After a breakfast of tea and a lunch of pretzels I was ready for something a little more substantial but light for dinner.
These came together together in a matter of minutes.
There is really nothing to it...
take a cupcake tin and spray it with cooking spray.
Line the cup with a thin, round piece of deli ham.
Crack an egg in, sprinkle it with salt & pepper.
After about 12 minutes at 400 degrees the whites will be cooked and the yolk will be a little runny.
Keep in mind that the egg will continue to cook even after it has been pulled from the oven.
Sprinkle it with parmesan cheese and scallions.
Next time I want to try shredded basil, mozzarella and thinly sliced cherry tomatoes.
Or cilantro, scallions and queso fresco with a splash of tapatio sauce.
Or sauteed mushrooms and white onion with blue cheese.
So truly you can use whatever you like.
Pull the egg cup from the tin and plate it.
Aren't they darling?
It's filling, healthy, quick and easy
...all good things.
and they really would be perfect for brunch since you can make several at one time.
