Method

  1. Ask a grown-up helper to switch the oven on to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Put 4 ramekins in front of you. Cut the ham and spinach into strips with your scissors. Put some in each ramekin.
  2. Squash the cherry tomatoes into a bowl using your fingers. Spoon 2 tomatoes and some juices into each ramekin.
  3. Break an egg into a bowl. Scoop out any pieces of shell with a spoon, then tip the egg carefully into the ramekin. Do the same with the other 3 eggs.
  4. Grate the cheese and sprinkle some on top of each egg. Ask a grown-up helper to put them in the oven on an oven tray for 15-18 minutes or until the egg white has set.

Equipment

You'll need a pair of children's scissors - decent plastic ones are good. A rotary grater is kinder to little knuckles.

Vary the veg

You can easily vary the vegetables in this dish depending on what your child likes. Frozen sweetcorn, frozen peas, snipped red or yellow pepper or spring onions all work well.

    Me and my 8 year old son think these are great! He was able to do everything except the oven bit so he was so proud. I think the spinach and ham go so well together, I demolished mine and I'm not a breakfast person! Definitely a keeper...

    Separate the yolks and drop in 3 mins before the end with some pepper - they stay runny :)

    Loved the bit "Scoop out any pieces of shell with a spoon"! My son (10) could crack and open an egg in each hand on the edge of the table/pan/whatever simultaneously, without any shell in the mix! Got it from me, I guess....

    Didn't have tomatoes so used salsa. Pretty nice. Yolks weren't runny though.
