Baked Ham and Egg Cups
A one stop breakfast treat.We just love this self-contained breakfast recipe from Cannabis Cheri. Ham slices form the cup the eggs are baked in. A muffin pan makes easy work of this simple recipe that always gets raves!The cannabis in this recipe is added via a medicated pesto that you can also use in a variety of other ways. As the recipe makes about a half cup of pesto, you will have leftovers. It keeps well in the freezer. Try using the leftover pesto over pasta or on steamed veggies, or fish. You can even use it as a savory bread spread when making Italian style sandwiches. You could also make more of this recipe of course.A note about the dosing:This recipe will have about 28 mg THC per serving if you made your marijuana oil from average cannabis (10% THC) and used 1/2 ounce of marijuana to make 1 cup oil. To adjust the dosage for your personal needs and to reflect the strength of the marijuana you are cooking with and the amounts you used to make your oil, be sure to take Cannabis Cheri’s FREE 10 minute online Dosing Class that will teach you how to use the handy dosage calculator tool on this page.**This dose is only a suggestion. Be sure to read and understand Calculating Cannabis Doses in Edibles before attempting to cook with marijuana.
