Ham and Egg Cups
Ingredients
Nonstick cooking spray
12 slices ham (around ¾ pound)
10 large eggs
1 tablespoon water
½ teaspoon salt
Black pepper
1 cup grated cheese (I use pepper jack, but cheddar works well, as does any cheese that melts)
1 scallion, finely slivered, to garnish (or a bit of chopped parsley or chives – or skip this, if the pop of green isn’t important to you!)
Directions
Heat the oven to 350 degrees and spray a 12-well muffin tin with cooking spray.
Beat the eggs with the water, salt, and pepper.
Place a ham slice inside each well of the muffin tin, and press it down gently into the bottom so that it forms a flowery little cup shape.
Put a tablespoon or so of cheese into each ham cup, and then roughly ¼ cup of the egg mixture (you want to use all the cheese and all the egg mixture for the entire pan).
Put the pan in the oven and bake until the eggs are puffed and just set, around 20 minutes. Eat right away, or let them cool, cover, and refrigerate. If you like, reheat briefly in the microwave before eating.
