Best Cooked Egg With Ibérico Ham Recipes

BAKED HAM AND EGG CUPS

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line the ramekins with nonstick aluminum foil and place on a baking sheet.
• 2. Stack 2 slices of ham directly on top of each other and fit into a ramekin to form a cup, making sure the ends of the ham hang over the ramekin slightly. Repeat with the remaining ham. Dividing evenly, sprinkle half of the cheese into the bottoms of the ham cups. Crack an egg into each and add 1 tablespoon cream. Divide the rest of the cheese, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper evenly among the cups.
• 3. Bake until the egg whites are set and the yolks are still soft, 20 to 24 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway; some cups may cook faster than others. Sprinkle with the chives and then carefully lift the ham cups out of the foil so you do not tear the ham or break the shape of the cup. Place on a large platter or on individual plates and serve.

COOKED EGG WITH IBÉRICO HAM

Steps:

• Split open and peel garlic cloves by pressing down on them with the flat side of a kitchen knife. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium sauté pan over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer garlic to a plate and set aside. 2. Increase heat to medium-high and add 3 remaining tablespoons olive oil. Crack 1 egg into a glass. When oil just begins to smoke, tip pan to a steep angle so oil collects on one side, creating a small bath. Carefully slide egg into hot oil and spoon the hot oil over egg 2 or 3 times. The egg will be ready in about 30 seconds. Transfer egg to a serving plate with a slotted spoon and season to taste with salt. Keep warm. Repeat with remaining egg, reserving the cooking oil when done. 3. To serve, place a fried egg on each plate. Tear small pieces of jamon and lay over and around each egg. Garnish with garlic. Sprinkle with sea salt and drizzle reserved cooking oil over each plate.
