Sherried Ham and Eggs with Swiss Cheese Recipe

Recipes for using leftover holiday ham are great to have on hand. You can enjoy this Sherried Ham and Eggs with Swiss cheese for breakfast, brunch or a quick supper.

8 slices ham, cooked
16 eggs
1/2 cup half-and-half
1/4 cup dry sherry
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 cups grated Swiss cheese
2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley, optional garnish

Preheat oven to 400°.

Butter 8 ramekins and place a slice of ham in the bottom of each and place on a baking pan. Without breaking the yolks, break two eggs into a small bowl. Slide eggs, two by two, onto the ham in each ramekin. Breaking into a small bowl will allow for easier removal of broken yolks or stray egg shell. If your egg breaking skills are superior, skip the extra bowl :-)

Stir together the half-and-half, sherry, Worcestershire sauce and cayenne. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of the mixture over the eggs in each ramekin.

Place the pan of ramekins in the hot oven and bake for approximately 6 minutes. You’re looking for sunny side up eggs with set, but not cooked, whites. Add a sprinkling of grated cheese to each ramekin and continue baking for 3 – 5 minutes. Now you’re looking for firm whites, but you don’t want them or the yolks to become hard.

Warm the remaining cream and sherry mixture (I set the bowl near the oven exhaust vent) and pour a little of the warmed mixture over each ramekin, garnish with parsley just before serving.

Yield: 8 servings

Elegant and flavorful, this chocolate tipped and pistachio dipped almond butter cookie recipe is perfect for any occasion.

3/4 cup butter
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup almond paste
1 egg yolk
1-2/3 cups all-purpose unbleached flour
6 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup pistachios, finely chopped

Preheat oven to 350°

Lightly grease cookie sheets and dust with flour, or line your cookie sheets with parchment paper.

Cream the butter and sugar in a bowl until completely incorporated. Add the almond past and egg yolk; beat until light. Blend in flour to make a smooth dough. If the dough is too soft to form, cover and refrigerate 30 – 40 minutes until firm.

Place dough on a lightly floured board. Divide dough into 8 equal pieces; divide each piece in half. Roll each half into a 12-inch rope; cut each rope into 2-inch pieces.

Place pieces 2 inches apart on cookie sheets.

Bake for 10 – 12 minutes or until the edges just begin to brown. Remove the cookies to wire racks to cool.

Melt chocolate chips in a small bowl over hot water, or in the microwave; stir until smooth.

Dip the ends of each cookie about 1/2 inch into the melted chocolate, and then dip the chocolate covered ends into the pistachios.

Place cookies on waxed paper and allow to stand until the chocolate is set.

Store in an airtight tin.

Yield: 96 cookies
