  • Oil spray or light brush of oil

  • Fold parcel: Fold the four corners inward about ¾ inch toward the center to form a neat square parcel. Do not fully overlap.
  • Add egg: Transfer to oiled parchment or an air fryer basket and crack 1 whole egg directly on top of the ham in the center.

Notes

  • High heat is key. Rice paper crisps best above 400°F.
  • Convection or an air fryer dramatically improves crunch.
  • If your egg spreads too much, lightly nest it into the ham before baking.
  • For extra crisp edges, lightly spray the rice paper with oil before cooking.
