Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a standard 6-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Carefully line each muffin cup with one slice of deli ham. Press the ham gently to form a 'cup' shape, ensuring the edges slightly overlap the sides of the muffin tin.
Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of shredded cheddar cheese into the bottom of each ham cup.
Crack one egg into each ham-lined muffin cup, taking care not to break the yolk.
Season each egg with a small pinch of salt and ground black pepper.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your desired level of doneness.
Carefully remove the muffin tin from the oven. Let the ham egg cups cool for 1-2 minutes before running a butter knife around the edges to loosen them.
Gently lift each ham egg cup out of the tin and transfer to a serving plate.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
