Eggs In Spinach Nest Recipes

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium saute pan over medium heat. Add the spinach along with a pinch of salt and pepper and saute, stirring occasionally, until wilted, about 1 minute.
• Add chickpeas and lemon zest. Carefully smash the chickpeas with a fork while combining the ingredients.
• With a wooden spoon, shape the mixture into a "wreath" with a hole in the middle. Drizzle the remaining teaspoon of olive oil into the hole, and then crack the egg into the hole.
• Cover pan with a lid and cook until egg has cooked through to desired doneness (for me, that's about 3 minutes).
• Use a large spatula to transfer the egg and "nest" to a plate. Some of the edges of the nest may fall off; just put it back into position on the plate.
• Top egg with a little additional salt and pepper, if desired, and squeeze a little fresh lemon juice over the top. Serve.

Steps:

• 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.
