Description
These Easter Egg and Bread Baskets are a delightful way to serve eggs, using toast bread to create charming baskets filled with eggs, ham, cheese, and sour cream.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 pieces of toast bread
- 4 eggs
- 4 tablespoons grated cheese of your choice
- 4 tablespoons sour cream
- Some thinly diced ham
- Melted butter
- Salt
- Pepper
- Fresh, chopped parsley or chives
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Remove the crust from each piece of toast bread. Use your palms to press each slice to make it thinner.
- Gently squeeze each piece of bread into a muffin tin to form a basket shape.
- Brush each bread basket with melted butter to ensure they become golden and crispy when baked.
- Finely dice the ham and distribute it evenly among the bread baskets.
- Crack an egg into each basket, taking care not to break the yolk.
- Top each egg with 1 tablespoon of grated cheese and a dollop of sour cream.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your liking and the bread is golden brown.
- Garnish with fresh, chopped parsley or chives before serving.
Notes
Use any type of cheese you prefer for a different flavor. These baskets are best served immediately, but you can prepare the bread baskets in advance and store them in an airtight container. For a vegetarian version, omit the ham and add more vegetables like bell peppers or spinach.
