Baked Ham & Egg Ingredients
1 large French baguette (24″ in length)
3 Tbs softened butter
6 Tbs grated Parmesan cheese
6 thinly sliced ham pieces
1/2 cup spinach leaves
6 medium eggs
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
How To Make Baked Ham & Egg Cups in French Bread
These egg cups are easy to make. You’ll need to cut round circles in the baguette and scoop out the bread. Don’t toss it – you can use that bread to make homemade croutons or breadcrumbs. Fill the cups with butter, parmesan cheese, spinach, ham and eggs, and bake. Easy peasy!
Preheat the oven to 400º. Make 6 evenly spaced 2 1/2″ round cuts on top of the baguette, removing bread from the rounds.
Rub softened butter into each round and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
Invert a 13″ rimmed baking sheet and place baguette on the sheet. Bake for 5 minutes and remove from oven.
Cut a 2″ slit from the center to the edge of each ham slice.
Form a cup with the ham slice and place it into each round on the baguette.
Place spinach leaves in each round, and then top with eggs.
Sprinkle eggs with salt and pepper.
Return to oven. Bake for 15 – 18 minutes until eggs are cooked to the desired doneness.
Cut into 4″ sandwiches and serve.
