Ingredients
Scale
Ham and Cheese Egg Cups
- 12 slices of ham
- 12 eggs
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius) to prepare for baking the egg cups.
- Prepare the muffin tin: Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin to prevent sticking and then line each cup with one slice of ham, forming a cup shape.
- Add cheese: Evenly divide 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese among the 12 ham-lined cups, sprinkling the cheese over the ham base.
- Add eggs and seasoning: Carefully crack one egg into each muffin cup over the cheese. Season each with salt and pepper to taste.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and yolks are cooked to your preference.
- Finish and serve: Remove the egg cups from the oven and let them cool slightly. Top each with fresh chopped green onions before serving. Enjoy warm!
Notes
- The ham acts as a natural cup and adds flavor, but you can substitute with turkey or bacon slices if preferred.
- For a cheesier variation, add extra mozzarella or mix in cheddar cheese.
- Adjust baking time based on how you like your egg yolks; less time for runny yolks, more for fully set.
- These egg cups can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the microwave for a quick breakfast.
