Ham and Cheese Egg Cups are a quick and easy breakfast or snack option featuring savory ham slices filled with eggs and melted mozzarella cheese, baked to perfection and topped with fresh green onions for a delicious, protein-packed treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 12 slices of ham
  • 12 eggs
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese

Seasoning

  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

Toppings

  • Green onions, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking your egg cups.
  2. Prepare Muffin Tin: Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin to prevent sticking. Line each cup with a slice of ham, ensuring it fully covers the bottom and sides.
  3. Add Cheese and Eggs: Divide the mozzarella cheese evenly among the ham-lined cups, sprinkling it on top. Then carefully crack one egg into each cup. Season each with salt and pepper to your liking.
  4. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the eggs are set to your preference.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, allow to cool slightly, then top each egg cup with chopped green onions. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • You can substitute mozzarella with cheddar or your favorite cheese for variety.
  • For a lower sodium version, use low-sodium ham and reduce added salt.
  • These egg cups can be prepared in advance and reheated in the microwave for a quick breakfast.
  • Add diced vegetables like bell peppers or tomatoes for added flavor and nutrition.
  • Ensure eggs are cooked to a safe temperature, especially if serving to children or elderly.
