HAM AND EGG BREAKFAST CUPS
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!

EGGS IN A HAM CUP
Another tasty recipe from Alberta Egg Producers. You can also use a microwave-proof wide mug if you don't have a ramekin or custard cup. You can cook more than one at a time, just make sure that they have cooked through; they should need more time the more you are cooking. 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.

Steps:
- Position one baking rack in the middle of the oven & preheat to 400 degrees F. Using a pastry brush & the melted butter or margarine, generously coat the inside of all 12 cups in a standard-size muffin tin.
- Fit 1 slice of ham into each cup, pressing down to gently line the cup. The ends will stick up over the edges of the cups before cooking. (The ham shrinks during baking resulting in a more cup-like appearance.).
- Spoon 1/2 teaspoon of maple syrup into the bottom of each ham cup, followed by 1/2 teaspoon of dill or chives. (If using dried herbs, use 1/8 teaspoon.) Crack 1 egg into each ham cup.
- Bake until whites are cooked and yolks are firm, about 20 minutes If any large bubbles form on the eggs during baking, pierce them with a toothpick or wooden skewer while they cook.
- Remove the baking pan from the oven and season eggs with salt and pepper. Using 2 teaspoons or small spatulas, carefully lift the full ham cups out and place them on a serving plate. Garnish with fresh herb sprigs if using. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Use fresh eggs: Fresh eggs will give you the best results, as they will have a firmer white and a richer yolk.
- Use a good quality ham: The quality of the ham will make a big difference in the final dish, so choose a ham that you enjoy the taste of.
- Don't overcook the eggs: The eggs should be cooked until they are just set, as overcooked eggs will be tough and rubbery.
- Season to taste: Add salt and pepper to taste, and you can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Serve immediately: Eggs in a ham cup are best served immediately, while the eggs are still hot and runny.
Conclusion:
Eggs in a ham cup is a classic breakfast dish that is easy to make and delicious. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a satisfying meal that is perfect for a weekend brunch or a quick weekday breakfast.
