Eggs in Ham Cups

Difficulty:
1/5

Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 12 slices of maple cured ham (1.6 cm x 2.5 cm)
  • 12 medium sized eggs
  • 1 x 12 cup capacity muffin tray (1 x 250 ml cup capacity)

Directions

  1. Place ham on a flat surface and cut a small triangle 1 inch in width (6cm) from the center to outer edge of each ham piece. This helps create an even bottom for the ham cup.
  2. Place one slice of ham evenly into each muffin cup of the baking tray, ensuring the bottom is covered completely with ham.  Place the left over triangle of ham on the bottom to cover any holes.  Repeat until all muffin cups are evenly lined with ham.
  3. Preheat grill to 400°F/204°C or medium-high heat.
  4. Place muffin tray on the barbecue and grill until crisp – approximately 4 minutes or until crisp and golden around edges of ham.  Remove from barbeque.
  5. Carefully add 1 cracked egg to each ham cup. Cover the entire tray with a sheet of aluminum foil.  Do not press down on foil. Leave the foil loose but tightly sealed around edges.
  6. Turn the temperature down to 200°F/100°C or low-heat. Once temperature is reached place eggs on grill.
  7. Cook eggs for 2-3 minutes or until desired doneness.
  8. When desired doneness of eggs is achieved, remove from grill.  Using a small spatula remove eggs onto a serving platter.
