Eggs in a Nest

• 4 English muffins, split
• 8 thin slices prosciutto, country ham, or smoked salmon
• 8 large eggs, separated
• Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with foil.
2. Lightly toast the English muffins either in a toaster or in the oven on the baking sheet.
3. Arrange the toasted muffin halves on the baking sheet.
4. Place a slice of ham or salmon on the cut side of each.
5. In a large bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form.
6. Pile the whites on each muffin, covering it (and the ham or salmon) completely.
7. Use the back of a spoon to make a depression in the center of each.
8. Place a yolk in each depression.
9. Place in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes, until the whites are lightly browned and the yolks are just set.
10. Sprinkle with a little sea salt and pepper and serve immediately.
