Simple, elegant, and full of savory flavor, these Ham and Fig nests are the perfect addition to a breakfast, brunch, or luncheon. Individually sized, these Ham and Fig Nests feature a crispy grated potato crust. Filled with mozzarella cheese and pancetta or ham, the nests are baked in their individual ramekins until melty and crisp. A slice of fig is added to each individual nest for a sweet and elegant finish to these savory Ham and Fig Nests.

Ingredients

servings:

1 potato (medium)
salt
3 slices mozzarella cheese
3 slices ham (Iberian, or pancetta)
1 fig (sliced)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 170 degrees Celsius.
Peel the potatoes and grate them. Either slowly saute them or microwave them until soft.
Lightly grease the oven-proof ramekins and add the potatoes. With the back of a spoon, press the potatoes all around the bottom and edges, smoothing them out. Salt to taste.
Bake the ramekins for 40 minutes.
Remove the ramekins from the oven and add the cheese and ham. Add back into the oven just until the cheese gets melted.
Remove from the oven again and add the sliced fig on top.
