Recipe: Easy Oven Eggs Benedict*

Its seems like these last few weeks before summer officially starts is so busy with school ending and yard work beginning, that it’s nice to have some quick and easy meals in mind.  I want to share a recipe I tried the other night, created from several I found on the internet that I call “Oven Eggs Benedict.”  Everyone likes to have breakfast for dinner don’t they?—we often have last minute pancakes or French toast.  This particular recipe, my 15 year old Dylan loved so much that he promptly devoured three, then begged me to make them again.  It made me laugh, since the whole dinner prep took about ten minutes and we ate it in the family room while watching our favorite TV show at nine p.m.—not exactly a shining example of family dinner hour!
Ingredients:

8 count can Jumbo refrigerated Biscuits (any brand)
8 large eggs
8 Portions of Ham (the ham can be slices from the deli or any packaged lunch meat
type)
Grated cheddar cheese
1 packet Hollandaise Sauce mix, any brand

Directions:

-Spray Jumbo Muffin Tins well with cooking spray or grease by hand with
shortening or butter. If you don’t have any of the large tins, you might consider
buying some, as they are nice to have for making jumbo muffins or cupcakes. You
could also substitute oven proof glass custard cups if you have the large sized
ones, OR come borrow my muffin tins, which I would be happy to lend anyone.

-Press the 8 biscuits into tins, covering the bottoms and up the sides as far as
they will go. If your tins have only 6 holes in each like mine do, fill the empty ones
with a little water in the bottoms to keep your pans from warping or burning in the
oven. Or you can just make 6 and not use the remaining biscuits.

-Place some ham or other breakfast meat into the bottom of the biscuits, folding
or cutting the slices as needed to fit down inside.

-Break an egg into each cup over the ham. Salt and pepper eggs lightly. Sprinkle
grated cheese over the top of the egg. The fillings should come to the top of the
tins, making them nice and full.
