Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Bake the potatoes until tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Allow to cool, and then peel and grate them. Season well with salt and pepper.
- Adjust the oven temperature to 450 degrees F. Spray two 12-hole muffin pans generously with cooking spray. Scoop 3 to 4 tablespoons of grated potato into each muffin hole. Use your fingers to gently press down the sides and bottom in each muffin hole to make a nest. Spray again with cooking spray. Then bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Watch and make sure they do not burn.
- Allow the nests to cool and lower the oven temperature to 400 degrees F. Then crack an egg into each nest. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and bake until the whites are set, about 15 minutes.

Steps:
- Egg Cups: Grease a large muffin tin. Place a slice of ham in each tin, then crack an egg over each slice of ham. Cover with tin foil, then bake at 350˚F (175˚C) for 8-10 minutes (eight minutes if you like your yolk very runny).
- Hollandaise sauce: Fill the bottom of a double boiler part-way with water. Make sure that the water doesn't touch the top bowl. Bring water to a gentle simmer. In the top of the double boiler, whisk together three egg yolks and ½ tsp white vinegar until well mixed.
- Slowly pour the melted butter in the egg yolk mixture, a little at a time, while constantly whisking. If you pour too much too quickly without whisking, the mixture might not thicken or mix properly. If the hollandaise gets too thick, add a teaspoon or two of hot water. Continue whisking until all the butter is incorporated.
- Remove from heat, whisk in lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
- Place a toasted English muffin half down, layer the ham and egg cup on top of the English muffin, then drizzle your hollandaise sauce over the egg.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- 1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line the ramekins with nonstick aluminum foil and place on a baking sheet.
- 2. Stack 2 slices of ham directly on top of each other and fit into a ramekin to form a cup, making sure the ends of the ham hang over the ramekin slightly. Repeat with the remaining ham. Dividing evenly, sprinkle half of the cheese into the bottoms of the ham cups. Crack an egg into each and add 1 tablespoon cream. Divide the rest of the cheese, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper evenly among the cups.
- 3. Bake until the egg whites are set and the yolks are still soft, 20 to 24 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway; some cups may cook faster than others. Sprinkle with the chives and then carefully lift the ham cups out of the foil so you do not tear the ham or break the shape of the cup. Place on a large platter or on individual plates and serve.
BAKED EGG IN HAM CUPS WITH PARMESAN AND GREEN ONION
You don't have to wait until a special occasion, make these for your breakfast tomorrow. I entered the recipe as 1 egg so you can easily scale it to just the number you need. If serving a crowd, use your muffin tin/silpat. Just 1 or a few use a ramekin or silpat cup. Add other things to the cup as the spirit moves you!

BAKED EGGS IN HAM CUPS
Steps:
- Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Butter four compartments of a metal muffin tin. Fold each ham slice into quarters, insert the point end in a buttered muffin cup, and let it open - it will have a ruffled look. Place 1 teaspoon pesto in the bottom of each ham cup, then carefully crack 2 eggs into each cup. (Sometimes I crack my eggs into a pitcher with a pour spout or into a small paper cup and pour them into the ham cup from there.) Tuck 2 mozzarella cubes and two cherry tomato halves into each cup on top of the eggs, and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. (Remember that the ham and pesto both lend saltiness to the dish.) Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the egg white looks set but the yolk is still a bit runny. Remove the ham cups from the muffin tin and serve them in small bowls or lined up on a platter.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients. Fresh eggs and deli ham will give you the best results.
- Preheat your oven to the correct temperature before baking the eggs. This will help ensure that they cook evenly.
- Use a muffin tin to bake the eggs. This will help keep them in place and prevent them from spilling over.
- Spray the muffin cups with cooking spray or grease them with butter to prevent the eggs from sticking.
- Season the eggs with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
- Bake the eggs for 15-20 minutes, or until they are cooked to your desired doneness.
- Serve the eggs immediately, garnished with fresh herbs or vegetables.
