Ingredients

• 6 pieces Ham slices
• 6 pieces Large eggs
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
• 1 spray Non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a standard muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

Brush each slice of ham lightly with maple syrup on both sides for a touch of sweetness and added caramelization.

Step 3

Gently press each ham slice into the muffin tin cups, forming a bowl shape to hold the egg. Ensure the ham overlaps slightly to create a sealed bottom.

Step 4

Sprinkle about a tablespoon of shredded cheddar cheese into the bottom of each ham cup.

Step 5

Crack one egg into each ham cup. Be careful not to break the yolk unless you prefer scrambled eggs.

Step 6

Season each egg lightly with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain slightly runny. For firmer yolks, bake for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the ham cups cool for 1-2 minutes before carefully using a spoon to lift them out.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy your Eggs in Maple Ham Cups!
