Ingredients
- 2 tsp olive oil, plus extra for greasing
- 1/2 small onion, finely diced
- 3 slices white bread, crusts removed
- 50g good-quality ham slices, chopped
- 5-6 fresh basil leaves, chopped, plus small whole leaves to garnish
- 3 cherry tomatoes, halved
- 6 small eggs
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 180˚C/fan 160˚C/gas 4. Heat the oil in a small frying pan, add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3-4 minutes until softened. Set aside.
-
Roll the bread slices with a rolling pin to flatten, then cut in half diagonally to make 6 triangles.
-
Lightly oil 6 holes in a muffin tray and line each with a bread triangle. Divide the onion, ham, chopped basil and tomatoes among each and crack an egg on top. Bake for about 15 minutes, until the egg whites are just cooked and the yolks still runny. Garnish with basil leaves to serve.
