Ingredients
Cooking spray
12thin slices deli ham
1 1/2cupsshredded sharp cheddar cheese
12large eggs
1Tablespoonchopped fresh chives
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Grease a 12-cup standard muffin pan with cooking spray.
Arrange one slice of ham inside each muffin cup so that it’s touching the bottom and sides of each cup.
Divide the cheese among the cups then crack an egg into each of the cups.
Sprinkle the eggs with salt and pepper then bake the cups until the yolk reaches your desired doneness, about 12 minutes for runny yolks or about 15 minutes for firm yolks.
Remove the cups from the oven then garnish them with the chives. Let them cool for 5 minutes in the pan then carefully lift them out and serve.
Notes
Don't skip greasing your pan! Coat the muffin tin with cooking spray to ensure easy removal of the breakfast cups and minimal sticking.
These really are best when fresh, however, you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave for 30-60 seconds or until warmed through.
