Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 Ham slices
- 6 Eggs
- 1 cup Shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon Cooking spray or melted butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or melted butter.
Place one slice of ham into each muffin cup, pressing it down gently to form a cup. The edges may stick out slightly, and that's fine.
Crack one egg into each ham cup. Be careful not to break the yolk unless you want scrambled-style cups.
Season each egg lightly with salt and black pepper.
Sprinkle about 1-2 tablespoons of shredded cheese on top of each egg.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your desired level (12 minutes for runny yolks, 15 minutes for fully set yolks).
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the cups cool for 2-3 minutes.
Carefully remove the ham egg cheese cups from the tin using a spoon or small spatula.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately.
