Family breakfast baked eggs and ham recipe
- Makes 1 portion
- Easy
We love this great-start breakfast that is a lot easier and healthier than a full English breakfast
The perfect family breakfast for weekends at home – and simple too. For extra taste, you could add a blob of ketchup or Daddies sauce on top. And its short preparation time means it works well as a quick after-school tea too.
Ingredients
- a little butter
- Thick ham 1 piece
- large egg 1
- grated Gruyère cheese 1 tbsp
- some crusty bread or toast
Method
-
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF/Gas Mark 6. Rub a little butter inside a ramekin. Break up the slice of ham into the bottom. Crack the egg on top, then sprinkle the cheese over. Bake for 12–15 minutes.
Let it cool slightly and wrap a wet napkin around the outside of the ramekin for the children, in case it is too hot.

Step 2
Serve straight from the oven for adults with crusty bread, or toast, that can be cut into soldiers, for children.
