Baked Eggs in Ham Cups

[Dawn]

Something really good to start the day with

Ingredients:​

• 6 slices of deli ham (thicker cut works best)
• 6 large eggs
• 1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh chives or parsley, chopped (for garnish)
• Non-stick cooking spray or butter for greasing

Instructions:​

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a standard muffin tin with cooking spray or butter.
2. Prepare the Ham Cups:
   • Gently press each slice of ham into the muffin tin cups, forming little ham cups. The edges of the ham may stick out slightly, which is fine.
3. Add Cheese:
   • Sprinkle a little bit of shredded cheese into the bottom of each ham cup.
4. Crack the Eggs:
   • Crack one egg into each ham cup. If the eggs are too large, you can whisk them together in a bowl first and then pour a portion into each cup.
5. Season:
   • Lightly season each egg with salt and pepper.
6. Bake:
   • Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the eggs are set to your desired doneness. If you like runny yolks, check them at 12 minutes. For firmer yolks, bake a little longer.
7. Garnish and Serve:
   • Once done, remove the ham cups from the muffin tin using a spoon. Be careful as they will be hot.
   • Garnish with freshly chopped chives or parsley.

Tips:​

• For extra flavor, you can add a sprinkle of herbs, such as thyme or oregano, to the eggs before baking.
• If you prefer, you can add some sautéed vegetables (like spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers) underneath the egg in each ham cup.
• These baked eggs in ham cups can be made ahead of time and reheated in the microwave for a quick breakfast on busy mornings.

Enjoy your tasty and protein-packed baked eggs in ham cups!
