Ingredients
4 slices Ouma bread
12 slices Food Lover’s Sandwich Ham
9 large eggs
45 ml (3 Tbsp) Dijon mustard
375 ml (1 ½ cup) grated Gruyère or Grana Padano Cheese
50 g Food Lover’s Salami, cut into smaller pieces
Italian parsley, to taste, chopped
Chives, to taste, sliced
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Directions
Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Cut the bread into 1-2cm cubes and crisp up in the oven for about 15 minutes. This is the perfect recipe where you can make use of stale bread, to minimise wastage.
Spray a 12-hole muffin tray with non-stick spray and place a slice of ham in each muffin hole to form a base for the breakfast cups. Set aside until needed.
Whisk the eggs in a large mixing bowl, then add the mustard, cheese, salami and parsley. Season to taste and add the Ouma bread croutons. Mix through and scoop the egg mixture into the prepared muffin tray.
Bake for about 15 minutes or until cooked and golden. Sprinkle with chives and enjoy!
