MICROWAVE EGG CAPRESE BREAKFAST CUPS
Dis nou ‘n maklike en vinnige ontbyt, vullend… en heerlik!
- 2 slices thinly sliced ham
- shredded Mozzarella or Provolone or a mix of the two
- 2 eggs
- basil pesto sauce
- Cherry tomatoes, cut in half
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- fresh basil leaves, if desired
Layer the slices of ham on the bottom and up the sides of a ramekin or small bowl pressing into the creases and ruffling the edges then sprinkle with the cheese.
Crack the eggs into the ramekins and add a dollop of pesto over the eggs with a few cherry tomato halves and season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Place in the microwave and cover with a microwave plate cover and cook on high for 1 minute and 30 seconds or until the whites are set, adding additional 20 second bursts if needed.
Note:
All microwaves will cook differently so play around with the amount of time. If cooking more than one set of eggs at a time allow for more cooking time as well. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and more kosher salt and black pepper if desired.
