Ingredients
Cooking spray, for pan
12 slices ham
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
12 large eggs
Kosher salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400ºF (200ºC). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
- Line each muffin cup with a slice of ham, pressing gently to form a base.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar into each ham-lined cup.
- Crack one egg into each cup and season with salt and pepper.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, depending on your preferred yolk doneness.
- Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.
Notes
- Swap ham for turkey or salami (use two slices for full coverage if needed).
- Use alternative cheeses like mozzarella, Gruyere, or pepper jack.
- Add finely chopped vegetables or herbs for extra flavor and nutrition.
- Scramble the eggs before pouring for a more uniform texture.
- Reheat in microwave or oven for a quick, warm breakfast.
