Luau Baked Eggs In Ham Crisps Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Put the ham in a snug-fitting pan, pour over the ginger beer and add the cloves, peppercorns and bay. Bring to a gentle simmer, cover with a lid and cook for 1 hr 15 mins. Leave the ham until cool enough to handle, then use a knife to remove the rind, leaving a layer of fat on the ham.
• Put the chips in a pan, cover with cold water and bring to the boil. Cook for 2 mins, then drain and leave to steam-dry in the colander. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Tip the chips onto your largest baking tray, toss with the oil, a pinch of Caribbean spice mix and some salt. Spread the chips out to a single layer, or if your tray is small, use two to make sure your chips have plenty of space around them so they get nice and crispy. Bake for 40 mins, turning them halfway through. Meanwhile, put the ham in a small baking dish lined with foil. Mix 2 tbsp Caribbean spice mix, the treacle and lime juice and paint all over the ham. Put in the oven alongside the chips for the final 20 mins of cooking.
• Cut the top and bottom off the pineapple, stand it upright on a chopping board and cut away all the peel from the sides too. Cut it in half through the core, then into long, thin wedges - you should get about 12. Cut out the woody core from each piece, brush with some oil and sprinkle with a little Caribbean spice mix.
• Heat a griddle pan and a frying pan with the remaining oil. Cook the pineapple in the griddle pan for 2-3 mins each side until charred. Crack the eggs into the hot oil in the frying pan and scatter with the sliced chilli, if using, and cook the eggs to your liking.
• Remove the ham and chips from the oven. Thickly slice the ham and serve it with the chips, eggs and pineapple.

Steps:

• Season fish, pork and chicken with Hawaiian sea salt. Place 2 ti leaves in an X on a flat surface for each of the 4 servings.
• Place 1/4 of each of the fish, pork and chicken onto the center of 3 or 4 taro leaves. Wrap securely with the taro leaves, then place each wrap on a set of ti leaves. Tie the ends of the ti leaves together with a piece of string.
• Place the bundles in a large steamer, and steam for 3 to 4 hours.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F
• Cook mushrooms and shallot in butter with salt and pepper over moderately high heat, stirring, until mushrooms are tender, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in crème fraîche.
• Fit 1 slice of ham into each of 12 lightly oiled muffin cups (ends will stick up and hang over edges of cups).
• Spoon mushroom mixture evenly among cups and crack 1 egg into each.
• Bake in middle of oven until whites are cooked but yolks are still slightly runny, about 15 minutes.
• Remove from muffin cups carefully, using 2 spoons or small spatulas.
• Garnish with tarragon and chives.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Cut the potatoes into chunky chips, place in a pan of salted water and bring to the boil. Simmer for 5 mins until softened slightly, then drain and leave to steam-dry for a few mins.
• Pour 3 tbsp of the oil into a shallow baking tray and place in the oven to heat for 5 mins. Meanwhile, toss the chips with the paprika, cayenne pepper and some salt. Carefully tip the chips into the hot oil and return the tray to the oven to cook for 40 mins, tossing them halfway through cooking.
• Ten mins before the chips are ready, heat a large griddle pan. Cook the ham slices for 3 mins each side until they are hot and have griddle lines on both sides. Transfer to a plate to keep warm. In a small frying pan, heat the remaining oil and fry the eggs to your liking. Top each slice of ham with an egg and serve with the oven chips, and ketchup if you like.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Prepare mushrooms: Cook mushrooms and shallot in butter with salt and pepper in a large heavy skillet over moderately high heat, stirring, until mushrooms are tender and liquid they give off is evaporated, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in crème fraîche and tarragon. Assemble and bake: Fit 1 slice of ham into each of 12 lightly oiled muffin cups (ends will stick up and hang over edges of cups). Divide mushrooms among cups and crack 1 egg into each. Bake in middle of oven until whites are cooked but yolks are still runny, about 15 minutes. Season eggs with salt and pepper and remove (with ham) from muffin cups carefully, using 2 spoons or small spatulas.
