Cook Time: 15 minPrep Time: 10 min
Yield: 6 servings 

Ingredients:
¾ lb. mushrooms (see notes), finely chopped
¼ c. shallots or Vidalia onion, finely chopped (optional)
2 T. unsalted butter
½ tsp. salt
¼ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
2 T. sour cream
1 T. finely chopped fresh tarragon or 1 tsp. dried

Parmesan cheese, finely shredded
Parsley, finely chopped

Spoon a little of the mushroom mix into each cup and then crack an egg into each cup on top of the filling. Bake in the middle of the oven until the whites are cooked but the yolks are still soft, about 15 minutes (see notes). Carefully transfer two cooked ham and egg “cups” onto each serving plate (they will be very hot!). Garnish with parmesan and chopped parsley.
