No fuss breakfast - recipe makes one - I would suggest 2 per serving

There are few things better than the traditional 'full english' breakfast. Sometimes, however, it is simply too much trouble. Here's a tasty alternative that will make your guests look at your culinary skills in a new light, and will involve you in minimal work, and less wahing up!

Take 1 slice of quality Ham (smoked or honey roast works best), a large egg and grated parmesan cheese

You will need a Le Creuset cook n' bake tray for this dish. Why not use www.helensrecipes.com search to find a retailer. You need to buy the Silicone 6 Cup Muffin Pan, Volcanic.

Line the hole tray with a gently layer of butter

Place the slice of ham in the hole

Crack the egg on top of the ham

Season with a little salt and pepper

Fold the overhanging ham over the top of the egg - don't worry if it won't cover completly

Springle the parmesan on the top

Place in the oven for at least 15mins, check the egg is firm before serving

Serve with lots of granary toast with butter, and plenty of tea or coffee.
