A delightful and easy-to-make breakfast dish featuring baked eggs with ham and cheese, perfect for a cozy morning.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right texture for the eggs.
Lightly grease two shallow baking dishes with cooking spray.
Using cooking spray prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Line each dish with two slices of ham, ensuring the bottom is covered.
Press the ham gently to fit the shape of the dish.
Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the ham in each dish.
Distribute the cheese evenly for consistent flavor.
Carefully crack two eggs into each dish, keeping the yolks intact.
Crack the eggs into a separate bowl first to avoid any shell pieces.
In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Whisking thoroughly ensures the seasoning is evenly distributed.
Drop small dollops of the sour cream mixture onto the eggs.
Place the dollops strategically to enhance the presentation.
Bake the dishes in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the eggs are set to your liking.
Check the eggs periodically to avoid overcooking.
Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh chives before serving.
Chop the chives finely for a professional touch.
