These are huge favorite in my house, whenever I make them I can guarantee there will be clear plates all around. I normally line the crispy toast basket with ham, but have also done these with some grated cheese instead as part of my healthy extra a choice. I usually serve with a side bowl of homemade fruit salad, but they are also yummy with some grilled tomatoes or sauteed spinach. These are also great cold for lunches boxes or packed lunches for days out.

Recipe Card
Egg and Ham in a Toast Basket
Start your morning with these delicious egg and ham in toast baskets
Ingredients
- 4 slices of low calorie bread
- 4 medium eggs
- 4 thin slices of lean ham
- salt and black pepper
- spray oil
- fresh parsley or chives
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180c fan, 200c or 400f (gas mark 6)
- Spray four holes on a muffin tray with some spray oil and push a slice of bread well down into each hole, so you have a kind of bread basket. Spray over the top with some more spray oil and place in the oven and bake until lightly golden and crisp.
- Remove from oven, line each toast basket with a slice of ham (I fold the ham in half and then make a kind of open flower), crack an egg into each basket and bake until egg is cooked to your liking.
- Season with salt and black pepper and a sprinkle of fresh chopped chives or parsley.
- For a variation, line the toast baskets with some grated cheese from your Healthy extra a choice before cracking in the egg.
