Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 6 slices sliced deli ham
- 0.75 cups cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons chives, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a muffin tin by lightly greasing six cups with melted butter.
Lay a slice of ham in each of the prepared muffin cups, pressing them gently to make a cup shape. Ensure the sides of the ham slightly overlap to hold the shape.
Crack one egg into each ham cup, taking care to not break the yolks.
Season each egg with a pinch of salt and black pepper according to your taste.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top of each egg, ensuring it's evenly distributed.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny.
Once baked, remove the muffin tin from the oven and let it cool for a minute.
Carefully lift each ham and egg cup out of the muffin tin using a spoon.
Garnish each cup with freshly chopped chives before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious low-carb ham and egg breakfast!
