Ingredients

Scale

Ham and Egg Cups

  • 12 slices of ham
  • 12 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius) to ensure it reaches the right temperature while you prepare the egg cups.
  2. Prepare the Muffin Tin: Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin to prevent sticking, then line each cup with one slice of ham, pressing it gently into the mold to form a cup shape.
  3. Add Cheese and Eggs: Evenly divide the shredded mozzarella cheese among the ham-lined cups, sprinkling it inside each one. Carefully crack one egg on top of the cheese in each cup. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper according to your taste.
  4. Bake the Egg Cups: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the eggs are set to your desired doneness and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove the egg cups from the oven and let them cool slightly. Sprinkle the chopped green onions over the top for a fresh, mild onion flavor. Serve warm and enjoy your savory breakfast treat!

Notes

  • Use a non-stick or well-greased muffin tin to easily remove the egg cups after baking.
  • You can substitute mozzarella with cheddar or your favorite cheese for variation.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding herbs like parsley or chives along with the green onions.
  • These egg cups can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated for a quick breakfast.
  • If preferred, use turkey ham or a vegetarian ham substitute to suit dietary preferences.
