Ingredients


  • large eggs 
  • 1/3 cup minced reduced-fat ham 
  • 1 tablespoon minced green onions 
  • 1 tablespoon minced parsley
  • 1 tablespoon low-fat mayonnaise 
  • 1 teaspoon mustard

  • (1-ounce) slices white bread, torn into large pieces 
  • Cooking spray
  • Fresh thyme leaves (optional)
  • Preparation
  1. Place eggs in a large saucepan. Cover with water to 1 inch above eggs; bring just to a boil. Remove from heat; cover and let stand 12 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold running water until cool.
  2. Peel eggs; slice in half lengthwise. Remove yolks; discard 4 yolks. Place remaining 4 yolks in a medium bowl. Add ham and next 7 ingredients (through pepper); stir until combined.
  3. Place bread in a food processor; pulse 10 times or until coarse crumbs measure 1 cup.
  4. Spoon about 1 teaspoon yolk mixture into each egg white half. Top each half with 1 tablespoon breadcrumbs. Coat breadcrumbs with cooking spray.
  5. Preheat broiler.
  6. Place eggs on a baking sheet; broil 1 minute or until breadcrumbs are toasted. Garnish with thyme leaves, if desired.
