Huevos Serranos Mountain Eggs is a classic Mexican breakfast dish that consists of roasted tomatoes, ham, and poached eggs topped with melted cheese. The name 'Serranos' refers to Serrano peppers, which are often used in this dish to add a spicy kick. This version of the dish skips the peppers but still delivers great flavor and hearty nutrition. It's a perfect dish to pair with warm tortillas and fresh salsa for a full breakfast experience.

1.	Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2.	Roast tomatoes in the oven until the skin is lightly brown, then remove from heat.
3.	Grease a ramekin and arrange the roasted tomato halves in it.
4.	Add ham on top of the tomato halves, then top with shredded cheese.
5.	Place the ramekin in the oven and bake for a few minutes until the cheese is melted.
6.	Poach the eggs to your desired level of doneness.
7.	Remove the ramekin from the oven and carefully place the poached eggs on top of the melted cheese.
8.	Sprinkle paprika over the eggs and serve immediately.
