Ingredients

  • 12 lices ham
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 12 eggs
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced chives
  • cooking spray

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. 
  2. Coat a 12 cup muffin tin with cooking spray. 
  3. Press a slice of ham into each muffin well.
  4. Divide the cheese evenly among the cups.
  5. Crack an egg into each cup, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Bake for 13-15 minutes or until yolks are at desired level of doneness.
  7. Right before serving, top with tomatoes and chives.

Notes

  • This recipe works best with ham slices that are round or oval in shape, as that makes them easier to press into the muffin tin. I’d avoid the very thinly shaved ham from the deli counter.
  • Freshly shredded cheddar cheese will have the best flavor and tends to melt smoothly. The bags of pre-shredded cheese at the grocery store often contain anti caking agents and don’t melt as well.
