Ham, eggs, and Sara...

I was getting bored one Saturday afternoon, and by fluke channel 24 was coming in, Connecticut Public Television. (We decided against getting cable, so getting more than 3 channels in English via the rabbit ears in this basement is a rare and happy event.)

Then I fell in love. A cheery but not too cheery blonde who was making beautiful food in a manageable amount of steps... It was culinary girl-crush time.

The program is Sara's Weeknight Meals, with cookbook author Sara Moulton. I lament that, given our TV situation, I'll probably never see her again. But at least I got this dish to remember her by...

Eggs in ham cups

First of all, heat the oven to 400F and prepare a muffin pan with cooking spray.
Line each cup of the pan with a slice of ham (medium-thick slices)
Break an egg into each ham-lined muffin cup.
Cook in the oven for about 15 minutes.

She added sofrito* and shredded cheese before cooking, and suggested pesto also.
Her exact version is here.

*Sofrito is mixture of onions, garlic, cilantro, peppers, etc., used as a sauce or base in Latino cooking.
