Ingredients for 6 baskets

How to make piadina baskets

  • Take a piadina and roll it

  • Then place it on top of silicone muffin molds and cut to size with scissors. (In some molds, I placed a base with the piadina, but it’s not essential).

  • Beat the eggs with milk and a pinch of salt, then pour into each mold where you have placed the piadina.

  • Add the diced cooked ham, grated cheese, and oregano. Bake at 356°F for about 12 minutes.

Storage and Tips for Piadina Baskets

They can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container until the next day. For a lighter version, you can use whole wheat piadinas or those without lard.
