Ingredients
  

For the Egg Cups
  • 12 slices Ham Consider turkey or chicken as a leaner substitute.
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Swap with mozzarella or dairy-free cheese for variety.
  • 12 Large Eggs Ensure they are at room temperature for better mixing.
  • Cooking Spray Prevents sticking; use a non-stick option for easier removal.
  • Kosher Salt Enhances flavor; regular salt can be used but adjust to taste.
  • Freshly Ground Black Pepper Adds a subtle kick; omit if you prefer a milder flavor.
For Garnishing
  • Finely Chopped Fresh Parsley Can be replaced with chives or omitted as desired.

Equipment

  • Muffin tin
  • Mixing Bowl

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and coat each muffin cup with cooking spray.
  2. Press a slice of ham into the bottom and sides of each muffin cup, creating a cup shape.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, kosher salt, and black pepper until pale yellow.
  4. Pour the egg mixture evenly into each ham cup, filling them about three-quarters full. Top with shredded cheddar.
  5. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the eggs are set and the cheese is golden. Check for doneness.
  6. Allow to cool for a minute before removing from the muffin tin and garnish with parsley.
