Ham and cheddar egg bites
Breakfast

Ham and cheddar egg bites

Baked in a water bath rather than straight on the rack, which is the difference between the silky kind sold in coffee shops and the rubbery kind that comes out of a muffin pan.

Method

6 steps · 35 minutes

  1. Blend the eggs, cream and cottage cheese for 20 seconds. The cottage cheese is what makes them custardy and you will not taste it.
  2. Butter a 12-cup muffin pan properly, including the rim. Egg welds itself to anything it can reach.
  3. Divide the diced ham, cheddar and chives between the cups and pour the egg over.
  4. Sit the pan inside a roasting pan and pour boiling water halfway up the outside.
  5. Bake at 300F for 25 minutes. Low and wet is the whole method; at 400F they puff, crack and then collapse.
  6. They keep four days and reheat in 30 seconds, which is the only reason to make twelve at once.
