Ingredients

• 12 slices Ham slices
• 12 large Eggs
• 1 cup Shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley or chives (optional, for garnish)
• 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 3

Line each muffin cup with a slice of ham, gently pressing it in to form a cup shape. If the ham is too large, you can fold or trim the edges to fit.

Step 4

Crack one egg into each ham cup. If desired, you can lightly beat the eggs before pouring them in for a scrambled texture.

Step 5

Sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper over each egg.

Step 6

Divide the shredded cheese evenly among the cups, sprinkling it on top of the eggs.

Step 7

Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the eggs are set to your liking. For runny yolks, check them around the 12-minute mark.

Step 8

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the ham and egg cups cool for 2 minutes before carefully removing them with a spoon or spatula.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped parsley or chives, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
