Serves: 4

Ingredients:

  • 8 slices wholemeal bread
  • 1/4 cup Western Star Spreadable Light
  • 4 slices ham, cut in half
  • 8 x 55g (small) eggs
  • 1 cup grated Bega So Light Vintage Cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives or spring onions

Method:

Cut the crusts off each slice of bread and butter on both sides. Gently push bread into the base of 8 muffin pans.

Line each bread base with a half slice of ham, crack in an egg and sprinkle with cheese and chives.

Bake nests at 180°C for 15-20 minutes until puffed and golden, cool in tin for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Cooking Time: 20 minutes

Hints:

These nests are perfect for picnics and brunches, and can also make a special treat served cold in a lunchbox.
