Easy Breakfast

Being a celiac, I'm always looking for good breakfast recipes or ideas.  I don't like to eat gluten free cereal as I find they can be full of sugar and not that nutritious. I typically have a smoothie every morning, so I get my fruit and veggies, but I like to get some real protein too.  I came across an old favorite from the Best of Bridge, which is super easy to make and the best part is the ingredients are mostly naturally gluten free.  You just need to replace the english muffin with gluten free bread, bagel or english muffin.

It's a great recipe if you're having company, or if you just want to make a single Nest, just use a ramekin.  

Here is the recipe and the link to the Best of Bridge website.  


Scotty's Nest Eggs

Ingredients for Each Nest:

2-3 thin slices Gluten Free Black Forest ham
1 egg
1 Tbsp. cream 15 mL
1 heaping Tbsp. grated Swiss cheese 25mL
sprinkle of dried basil
Gluten Free English muffin

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 deg.F (180 deg.C). Grease large muffin tins. Line with ham and break egg over top. Add cream and sprinkle with cheese and basil. Bake 12-15 minutes. Serve on half a toasted English muffin. (Place water in any unused muffin cups to prevent damage.)

Here are my pictures:

 Step 1 - add gluten free ham

 Step 2 - add your egg the center of the ham

 Step 3 - add your cream

Step 4 - add your shredded cheese and sprinkle dried basil on top and toss it in the oven!  

I found that 15 minutes gives a liquidy soft yolk, but if you prefer a firmer yolk, cook it a bit longer.  

Enjoy!!
