First of all, don't use oil or butter at all. Use non-stick spray to coat the pan. Non-stick spray has almost negligible calories and fat.

Secondly, use a lowfat cheese, but try to choose one with high flavor to compensate --like a sharp cheddar.

Next, use a whole wheat bread, which will add fiber and nutrients.

To top it off, make it even healthier by adding nutritious veggies if you like --sprouts, avocado, or sliced tomato.

Baker's Dozen Eggs (Bread Baskets) -

You obviously do not have to follow the recipe & make 12. Make how many you need. Have a look at the link, there's a pic of the end result

5 tbsp butter

12 slices extra-thin whole wheat bread

½ lb prosciutto or Serrano ham, thinly sliced

12 eggs

¼ cup 35% cream

Fresh chives

Grated Parmesan or Manchego cheese

Preheat oven to 375°F.

Butter a 12-cup muffin tin and butter bread. Gently press each slice into the bottom of a muffin cup. Bake for 3 minutes. (If preparing in advance, allow to cool and wrap the entire muffin tin tightly with foil, then refrigerate.)

Nestle 1 slice of ham in each bread cup, and carefully crack an egg on top of the ham. Season with salt and pepper, and spoon 1/2 teaspoon of cream on top of the egg.

Bake eggs in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes, until whites are just set. With an offset spatula, remove bread cups, transfer to a serving plate, and garnish with chives and cheese. Serve immediately.

1 onion, peeled and cut into thin wedges

2 courgettes, cut into slices

30g (1oz) Emmental or Comté; cheese (available from supermarkets), finely grated

2 eggs, beaten

2. To make the pastry: Put the flour and salt in a large bowl, rub in the butter and white fat to breadcrumb stage. Stir in the grated cheese then add 2tbsp of beaten egg and 2-3tbsp cold water to make a soft, not sticky, dough. Knead until smooth. Chill for at least 10 minutes.

4. Pile the vegetables and tomatoes on to the pastry, leaving a 5cm (2in) border. Pop bits of cheese on top. Fold the pastry edge upwards and inwards, over the vegetables, overlapping and sealing to make a free-form tart. Brush with beaten egg.
