Ingredients:

  • 1 cup pasta , small variety, cooked
  • 1/3 cup ham, diced (or other meat)
  • 1/3 cup onion, diced
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1 pinch nutmeg

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Spray, butter, or in some way lubricate your mini-muffin (or reg muffin pans) WELL, otherwise there is a good chance you will be digging these out of the pan (even silicon pans need a good oiling) and end up with a delicious mountain of destroyed nests. And muffin liners (even the foil ones) don't work well either, trust me.
  3. Cook pasta (or use left overs).
  4. Chop meat, cheese and onion; mix together with pasta.
  5. In a large measuring cup (2 cup works well), beat eggs slightly, stir in cream, milk, salt, pepper and nutmeg.
  6. Evenly distribute the dry mixture among the mini-muffin pans, then evenly pour custard mixture into each muffin cup. There will be left over - there always is. These puff up, so you don't necessarily want to take the liquids all the way up to the top.
  7. Bake for 35 minutes.
  8. Remove from oven, run a knife around the edge of each nest to loosen from the sides of the muffin cups. Let cool 5-10 min before removing.
  9. These are best warm, but usually consumed piping hot - be warned!
  10. Check description for flavor substitutes and make ahead instructions.
