Recipe type: Breakfast or Appetizer
Ingredients
  • Ham Slices
  • Eggs
  • Additional Meat such as sausage crumbles, bacon pieces, etc.
  • Diced Veggies - like onions, peppers, spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes, potatoes, zucchini, etc.
  • Cheese - classic cheddar or mozzarella, feta, cream cheese - any cheese you want!
Instructions
  1. First, lay out your ham slices in a greased muffin cups and make as many as you would like. We usually make 6-8 depending on the morning. You want to layer the ham to where it covers the muffin tin completely to form it's own cup. It takes two slices of the ham we like to do this.
  2. Then add a layer of finely diced veggies: 1-2 TBSP worth
  3. Then add a layer of shredded cheese: about 1-2 TBSP worth
  4. Then crack an egg on top
  5. Sprinkle with pepper
  6. Bake in 350 degree oven for 15 minutes, or until desired egg doneness is reached
Notes
We just showed you one way to make this, but there are thousands of ways and way more possible ingredients than what we just listed above. Just experiment with what you have already to put it all together!

One fun way is to way is to scramble the eggs before and even adding a soft cheese like cream cheese or even sour cream or mayo into the scrambled eggs and then pour in the cups for a different version!

You can add the sausage crumbles or bacon pieces for more meaty fun. Try a spinach and feta cheese combo! Think of this as like a pizza and you can let everyone make their own with the ingredients you have on hand! Have fun with it and have more fun eating them :)
