Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 slices favorite whole grain bread
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 pound boneless ham steak (about 1/2″ thick)
  • 2 cups fresh arugula (loosely packed)
  • 1 tablespoon Lite Balsamic Vinaigrette (I used Newman’s Own)
  • 6 grape tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoon seedless raspberry jam
  • Non-stick cooking spray

Instructions

  1. On a cutting board, cut 2 hearts from each slice of bread, using a 2″ heart-shaped cookie cutter (reserve leftover bread for another use).
  2. Place on baking sheet and toast in oven broiler until lightly browned.
  3. Turn bread over and, using a pastry brush, slather with melted butter.
  4. Return to oven broiler and toast until lightly browned; remove from oven and set aside.
  5. Place a small amount of arugula on each plate (for the egg).
  6. Place the remaining arugula in a small bowl, add vinaigrette and toss.
  7. Divide arugula among 2 small salad bowls and make tomato hearts using Bonnie’s (The Pin Junkie) directions.
  8. On a cutting board, cut out 4 pieces of heart-shaped ham using a 2 3/4″ heart-shaped cookie cutter.
  9. Place in small non-stick skillet and heat on low.
  10. While ham is heating, spray a 4″ heart-shaped pancake/egg mold with non-stick cooking spray.
  11. Spray a larger non-stick skillet with non-stick spray and place the mold in the pan, with the wooden handle in the “up” position.
  12. Pre-heat the pan with the egg shaper in it on medium heat.
  13. When pan is pre-heated, gently crack the egg into a small bowl then pour into the center on the mold; quickly move the mold ever so slightly it the egg yolk is not centered.
  14. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue cooking until egg while is “set”, about 2 minutes.
  15. Remove egg mold using wooden handle and transfer heart-shaped egg to plate using a spatula.
  16. Add ham and toast to each plate and drizzle with seedless raspberry jam.
  17. Serve immediately.

Notes

The egg will “leak” out from under the mold slightly. Don’t be discouraged by this; just let the egg continue to cook and once ready, wiggle the mold a little bit to “cut” the outside leaked egg white away from the mold (or use your spatula to help you), then lift the mold. Discard the leaked egg white.
