Eggs Baked in Ham with Sofrito

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. To make the sofrito, combine the bell pepper, onion, tomato, cilantro, garlic, salt, and pepper in a food processor and process until smooth.
2. 2
   Fit a slice of ham into each of 8 lightly oiled muffin cups, or mini souffle dishes (they must hold a scant 1/2 cup), with the ends of the ham extending above the edges of the cups.
3. 3
   Divide the sofrito among the cups, shaping a hollow in the center.
4. 4
   Crack one egg into each and top with the cheese.
5. 5
   If using custard cups or souffle dishes, place on a rimmed baking sheet for easy handling.
6. 6
   Bake in the center of the oven until the whites are cooked but the yolks are still runny, about 15 minutes.
7. 7
   Season the eggs with salt and pepper and carefully remove (with the ham) from the muffin cups, using two spoons or spatulas.
8. 8
   Sprinkle with tortilla chips and serve.
