Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 2 slices of ham
  • 2 tablespoons of petit pois (canned peas)
  • 2 tablespoons of ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon of butter
  • ½ cup of ground Parmesan cheese
  • Salt

Instructions

  1. 1
    Place 3 sheets of aluminum foil (approx 15 x 15 inches or 35 x 35 cm) into a bowl with a 5-inch (12 cm) diameter and 2-inch depth. Press gently the foil downwards in order to give it the shape of the bowl.
  2. 2
    Spread the butter all over inside walls of the aluminum-shaped bowl.
  3. 3
    Place one slice of ham in the bottom of the bowl. Cut the additional slice in three strips. With each strip, cover inside walls of aluminum bowl.
  4. 4
    Add both eggs to the bowl.
  5. 5
    Add the peas, spreading them all over the eggs. Be careful with the yolks—don't break them. Add 1 teaspoon of the liquid from the can.
  6. 6
    Add a pinch of salt, and the ketchup, trying to cover all the area.
  7. 7
    Carefully remove foil with the casserole from the bowl. Top with the cheese and bake 30 minutes in a preheated 400°F (205C) oven.
