Eggs In A Nest
Recipe courtesy Paula Deen

Ingredients
6 tablespoons butter, melted
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 sheets phyllo dough, thawed
8 eggs
2 tablespoons water
4 tablespoons butter
1 cup diced ham
1 cup grated Cheddar
Salt and pepper

Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Butter 4 muffin cups. In a small bowl, combine melted butter and garlic. On a cutting board, stack 3
phyllo sheets and cut into fourths, forming 12 squares. Cover phyllo with a damp paper towel when

not in use because it dries out quickly. Press 1 phyllo square (one sheet thick) into bottom of each
muffin cup. (Don't worry if phyllo tears) Brush with butter. Add another layer of phyllo and brush
with butter. Repeat a third time. Bake for 10 minutes. Carefully remove phyllo baskets from muffin
cups and cool on wire rack. In a medium bowl, beat eggs and add 1 tablespoon water. Melt 2
tablespoons butter in a medium skillet and add eggs. Sprinkle ham over eggs. Scramble eggs to
desired doneness. Sprinkle in cheese and stir until melted. Season with salt and pepper and spoon
into phyllo baskets.
