Sleepy Twisted Sister’s G-N-G Breakfast Ramekin

twissis's Note:

Potatoes are nearly religious in Iceland. If I put the most extravagant “potato-less” meal ever created in front of Siggi … he scans it, frowns & says “Hmm. No potatoes, huh?” In addition, SusieQusie accuses me (rightly so) of sleeping comfortably while Siggi trots off to work … so I thot I'd "marry" these 2 concepts & devised his now favourite G-N-G (Grab, Nuke & Go) breakfast. (Time doesn't include time spent originally fixing the potatoes or hard-boiling the egg)

• Total Time: 5 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 0 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 2

Yield: 2.0 Ramekin ...

• 4 ounces leftover potatoes (flavorful mashed or boiled & seasoned fried)
• 2 slices deli ham (thin-sliced luncheon type)
• 1 hard-boiled egg
• 2 tablespoons cheddar cheese (shredded)
• fresh chives (snipped for garnish)

Directions:

1. Lightly butter 2 ramekins using a pastry brush.
2. Put 2 ounces flavourful mashed potatoes or seasoned fried potatoes in the bottom of the ramekins. Layer hard-boiled egg you’ve sliced w/your handy-dandy egg slicer over the potatoes, putting half the egg in ea ramekin. Layer ea ramekin w/a ham slice. Top ea ramekin w/1 tbsp grated cheddar cheese & garnish w/chopped fresh chives.
3. Refrigerate till your DH is ready to G-N-G & train him to be ever so quiet as he nukes his breakfast & leaves for work!
4. NOTE: I thot the fresh chive garnish was a really nice "extra effort" touch. :-).

Terrific and easy breakfast! I used leftover Mashed Potatoes Supreme (Mashed Potatoes Supreme) and bacon instead of ham. I liked the cheddar and I think swiss cheese would work well too. Simple, tasty, and filling - you can't beat that for a breakfast - thanks for sharing the recipe!

What a great new dish to add to the breakfast rotation!! I made this using the fried potatoes and had to sub in bacon for the ham, as DH finished all the deli ham. I am not a fan of hard boiled eggs, so I also substituted scrambled eggs that I cooked just until almost done. Followed the rest of the recipe and served it with some watermelon for a wonderful breakfast!! Thanks for sharing the recipe. Made for your win in the football pool, congrats again!!!
