Nests with Ham, Eggs and Swiss Cheese
12 slices bread
75 mL (1/3 cup) butter, melted
150 mL (2/3 cup) ham, finely chopped
170 g (6 oz) swiss cheese, grated
50 mL (1/4 cup) green onion, finely chopped
12 eggs
To taste salt and pepper
60 g (2 oz) swiss cheese, grated
   

Remove crusts from sliced bread. Flatten slices with a rolling pin. Brush both sides with melted butter and press a slice into each of 12 170 mL (6 oz) ovenproof ramekins or custard cups. Set them on a cookie sheet and bake at 180° C (350° F) for 12 minutes. Divide ham, 170 g (6 oz) cheese and green onion evenly among the ramekins. Make a well in centre of each “nest” and delicately break an egg into it. Add salt and pepper and top with the other 60 g (2 oz) cheese, divided evenly among nests. Bake for 18 minutes or until eggs are done to taste.
