by

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray to ensure easy release.

Step 2: Prepare the Ham Cups

  1. Place one slice of ham into each muffin cup, pressing it down gently to form a “cup.” The edges of the ham should slightly overlap and stick out of the muffin tin.

Step 3: Whisk the Egg Mixture

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk (if using), salt, and pepper.
  2. Stir in the shredded cheese and any desired mix-ins, such as diced bell peppers or other vegetables.

Step 4: Assemble and Bake

  1. Pour the egg mixture into the ham-lined cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  2. Sprinkle additional cheese on top if desired.
  3. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the eggs are set and slightly golden on top.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

  1. Allow the egg cups to cool in the tin for 2-3 minutes before gently removing them.
  2. Garnish with chopped green onions or your favorite herbs.
  3. Serve immediately or let cool and store for later use.
