Time 41m

Number Of Ingredients 7

Nonstick cooking spray

8 cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes, halved

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat eight 2 1/2-inch muffin cups with cooking spray. Gently press a ham slice onto the bottom and up the sides of each prepared muffin cup, carefully ruffling the edges of ham. Divide cheese among the ham-lined muffin cups.

HAM AND EGG BREAKFAST CUPS



Ham and Egg Breakfast Cups image

These cunning little ham and cheese cups make for an easy breakfast or a fun brunch treat-you can even prep this recipe, easy as they are, the night before.

Provided by Molly Watson

Categories     Breakfast     Brunch

Time 30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 thin slices of ham
6 tablespoons cheddar cheese (grated)
2 green onions
6 eggs
1 tablespoon milk
Cooking oil spray

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Preheat an oven to 350 F.
  • Spray a muffin pan (6 tins) with cooking oil or grease with butter. Ideally, use a nonstick muffin pan. Line each tin with a piece of ham. Let the center of each piece of ham drop into the bottom of the tin, then press it down and along the edges, letting the ham fold to fit the tin. Put 1 tablespoon of cheese in the bottom of each ham-lined tin. Set aside.
  • Trim the green onions and finely chop the white and light green parts. Discard the dark green tops or reserve for another use. Divide the chopped green onion evenly between the 6 tins.
  • Crack the eggs into a medium bowl. Whisk the eggs until smooth, with no puddles of yolks or strings of whites. Add the milk and whisk to combine.
  • Divide the egg mixture evenly between the 6 tins. Pour the mixture gently into the tins. As you pour, some of the egg mixture may flow in between the tin and the ham-don't worry, that's why you've sprayed the tin with oil!
  • Bake until the egg mixture puffs slightly and is set, about 20 minutes.
  • Let the ham and egg cups sit a few minutes before removing them from the tins. Use a spoon or small spatula to gently remove the ham and egg cups from the tins.
  • Serve immediately (although they aren't bad just warm or even at room temperature). Enjoy!

BAKED HAM AND EGG CUPS



Baked Ham and Egg Cups image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

12 thin slices Black Forest ham (about 10 ounces)
1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese
6 large eggs
6 tablespoons heavy cream
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives

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 HAM, EGG AND CHEESE BREAKFAST SANDWICHES FOR A CROWD



Baked Ham, Egg and Cheese Breakfast Sandwiches for a Crowd image

The genius move behind these easy sandwiches is cooking enough scrambled eggs for twelve on a baking sheet; no stovetop required. Top with sliced cheese and sandwich between pillowy pull-apart rolls, then let the oven do the rest of the work for you!

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 25m

Yield 12 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 8

10 large eggs
4 scallions, finely chopped (about 3/4 cup)
Kosher salt
One 12-pack pull-apart dinner rolls
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
6 slices American cheese (4 ounces)
4 slices deli ham, finely chopped (4 ounces)
Hot sauce, such as Tabasco, for serving

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the lower third of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Place two 2-foot-long pieces of nonstick aluminum foil next to each other so the long sides are just touching. Pinch the edges together and then fold them over several times to seal and form one large piece of foil. Line a rimmed baking sheet with the foil and set aside.
  • Crack the eggs into a large bowl and whisk well. Add the scallions, 1 teaspoon salt and 2 tablespoons water and whisk to combine.
  • Split the whole pack of attached dinner rolls in half horizontally using a serrated knife. Set aside.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the prepared baking sheet and place in the oven to melt, about 3 minutes. Spread the butter all over the foil with a pastry brush and then pour in the egg mixture. Place the attached roll halves cut-side down and side by side on top of the eggs and return to the oven. Bake until the eggs are completely set, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, butter another baking sheet with the remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Using heatproof mitts, top the rolls with this baking sheet and invert the whole thing. Remove the top baking sheet and peel back the foil. Top half the eggs with the cheese and the other half with the ham. Bake until the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
  • Using a large metal hamburger spatula, flip the bottom half of the rolls onto the other half, so the rolls are top-side up. Cut or pull the rolls apart. Serve with hot sauce.

  • Serve immediately. Ham and egg cups are best served hot out of the oven. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, but they are best reheated before serving.
