Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound sliced ham (about 10 slices, round or oval)
- 10 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup sliced green onions
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Muffin Tin
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a standard muffin tin with oil or cooking spray. - Form the Ham Cups
Press one slice of ham into each muffin cup, gently folding to fit and form a “cup.” Ensure there are no large gaps for eggs to leak through. - Crack the Eggs
Crack one egg into each ham cup. It’s okay if the yolk breaks. Season each with a little salt and pepper. - Add Cheese and Green Onions
Sprinkle cheddar cheese on top of each egg, followed by a few green onion slices. You can press the toppings in slightly to help them bake in. - Bake
Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until egg whites are set but yolks are still slightly runny (bake longer for firm yolks). - Cool and Serve
Remove from the oven and let sit for 2–3 minutes. Use a spoon to gently lift the ham and egg cups out. Serve warm or allow to cool for storage.
Notes
Use deli-style ham that’s round or oval and not too thin.
Sharp cheddar melts well but try pepper jack, Swiss, or feta for variety.
For firm egg yolks, bake 17–18 minutes.
These are excellent with hot sauce, salsa, or a dollop of Greek yogurt on top.
