Hot sauce, optional
# Instructions:
01 -
Set oven to 250°C for optimal toasting.
02 -
Lightly toast bread slices, then arrange on a pizza stone or baking tray. For smaller slices, overlap two pieces to form one serving. Drizzle with olive oil.
03 -
Distribute tomato slices evenly over bread. Scatter chopped scallion, then arrange mozzarella on top, forming a shallow well in the centre for the egg.
04 -
Drape ham slices around the centre well, ensuring even coverage.
05 -
Crack an egg into each prepared well. Sprinkle with salt and cracked black pepper.
06 -
Transfer to oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until egg white is set and yolk is at preferred doneness.
07 -
Remove from oven, garnish with additional scallion greens and a dash of hot sauce if desired. Serve immediately.
# Notes:
01 -
Forming a well in the mozzarella helps keep the egg contained while baking.
02 -
For a vegetarian option, omit the ham and add more vegetables or mushrooms.
