Day 291 - Sage and Ham Baked Eggs

I have to admit that I was hesitant to taste this finished product only because I had no desire to eat anything.
And the thought of eggs was anything but appealing.
I like eggs.
I just wasn't hungry.

You'll see what I thought of it.

Recipe adapted from Baking Bites.

Sage and Ham Baked Eggs - makes 2 servings

2 eggs
1 tablespoon milk
2 thin slices baked ham, diced
1/4 cup shredded Mexican cheese
1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped and divided (save some for sprinkling on top)
2 teaspoons milk
2 teaspoons green onion, chopped
1 teaspoon grated Parmesan cheese, divided
salt
freshly ground pepper
1 tomato, diced, for garnish, if desired (or you could even add this to the ham and cheese mixture before putting it into the ramekins)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Prepare two 6 oz. ramekins by spraying them with cooking spray.
Into a medium bowl, break both eggs and whisk together with tablespoon of milk.
In a separate medium bowl, combine ham, cheese, 2 teaspoons milk, green onion, 3/4 tablespoon of sage.

Mix together.

Evenly divide ham mixture into the two ramekins.
Evenly divide the egg between the two ramekins, pouring them on top of the ham mixture.

Sprinkle each ramekin evenly with the grated Parmesan.
Sprinkle with salt, freshly ground pepper, and remaining chopped sage.

Bake for 15-20 minutes.
If desired, garnish with chopped tomato.

I rate everything I bake on a scale of 1-4 with 4 being the best and these Sage and Ham Baked Eggs earned 3 1/2  rolling pins.
We were all hesitant to try it actually.
It was around lunchtime, but none of us were really hungry and we certainly weren't in the mood for eggs.
I gave one to my son to try even though he kind of turned his nose up.
"Mom, you are the best cook!  This is really good!  It tastes like stuffing!"
Stuffing, really?  You are a strange little man.
You taste sage and anything associated with it reminds you of stuffing.  Ok.
"Really?"
Ok, I guess I have to try it them.
Of course I have to try it, duh, I have to rate it.  Silly me.
I'm telling you that this is one of those dishes that pleasantly surprised me.
I will definitely be adding this to my regular repertoire of breakfast recipes.
WHY haven't I ever made this before?
It just never occurred to me to bake eggs.
How ingenious!!

I give you BIG baking hugs and muffins!!
