Scotty'S Nest Eggs - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 -3 slices black forest ham, thinly sliced
1 egg
1 teaspoon cream or 1 teaspoon half-and-half
1 1/2 tablespoons swiss cheese, grated
1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon fresh basil, chopped
1/2 English muffin

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350.
Grease large muffin tins with Pam. Rip/shred the ham to fit around the muffin tin, making sure the bottom and sides are covered. Break egg over top of ham. Add cream and sprinkle with cheese and basil. (can be done ahead of time) Bake 12 - 15 minutes. (place water in any unused muffin cups to prevent damage).
Serve on half of a toasted english muffin.
The amount of the basil is only a guideline. Dried basil can be used quite successfully.
