花形面包烤蛋（Baker's Dozen Eggs）

很久以前，在Angelic Heart家，看过这个外貌可爱，

名字特别 - Baker's Dozen Egg的烤蛋面包。
 I saw this cute and uniquely named recipe, Baker's Dozen Egg, at Angelic Heart's blog some time ago.

就不知他的中文名字是啥，当然找谷哥去，结果意外发现，直接翻译将会是个既奇怪又不雅的名字 - “13粒蛋”。
Why "Baker's Dozen", though? A search from Google reveals all --- "Baker's Dozen" actually means 13.

今天把它选来当孩子们的星期三便当。

又不知原创 Lauren Bank Deen为什么称之“13粒蛋”，

只好私自为它 改了一个文雅的名字 - 花形面包烤蛋。
Although I have no idea why the creator of this recipe, Lauren Bank Deen, decided to name this snack "Baker's Dozen Egg", I decided to prepare this for NaNak and her friend's Wednesday bento.

花形蛋烤面包
食谱参考 ： Angelic Heart
六人份

材料：

5tbsp 奶油
6片全麦薄面包（用擀面棍稍微把面包擀扁，不然烤好的面包口感像饼干）
120g 火腿，切小条状
6颗 中型蛋
适量的黑胡椒，百里香，干香芹
6片车达乳酪片




做法：
1. 预热烤箱190度C。

2. 满分烤盘扫上奶油。将面包其中一面涂上奶油，轻压进烤盘成面包杯，奶油面向上，再铺上一片车达乳酪片。

3. 火腿轻压进面包杯，撒一些百里香，干香芹和黑胡椒调味，把蛋打入碗内，小心用汤匙舀进面包杯内。整颗蛋直接打入的话，蛋白会太多而流出面包杯。

4. 小心把烤盘送入烤箱，烤至蛋白凝固，约15 - 18分钟（依自己喜好，太熟的蛋不是很好吃，我喜欢7/8分熟）。　

5. 把面包杯移出烤盘，撒上适量的干香芹即可。

同时安哥也少有的竖起拇指哦！
As usual, this bento delighted the kids, and even my hubby gave it a thumbs up! 

烤香的面包外层，香香脆脆，

内层则被烤至半熟的蛋液覆盖，

因而富有火腿，乳酪，蛋香和香草的混合湿润美味，

好好吃！ 
The toasted bread was crispy, while the half-cooked egg deliciously filled with ingredients like ham, cheese and herbs gave off an aroma that made this snack all the more tempting!
