Ingredients

• Eggs: A great way to get protein in the morning, they are also chalk full of other vitamins and minerals.
• Milk: I used w،le milk for the added ، content, but you could use whatever you have.
• Ham: I used ca،ian bacon, but you could use leftover baked ham, sliced deli meat, or whatever else you have on hand!
• Scallions: Also called green onions, they add a fresh, bright flavor to the eggs.
• Cheese: Sharp cheddar cheese adds great salty, pungent, and (big surprise) sharp flavor to the eggs. But a،n, any cheese you have would add to the flavor of the dish.

How to make Ham and Cheese Baked Egg Cups

Prepare for your Ham and Cheese Baked Egg Cups by preheating your oven to 350 and spraying your ،in tin with cooking spray.

Then cut your ham into small, bite-sized pieces, and mince your scallions.

Next in a large bowl, carefully ، your dozen eggs.

Beat your eggs with a whisk, and slowly stir in your milk. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Then add in the minced scallions and diced ham. Stir to make sure it’s evenly incorporated.

Then using a ladle or measuring cup, evenly distribute the egg mixture into your ،in tin.

Finish by sprinkling each cup with shredded cheese.

Bake your egg cups for about 25-30 minutes, or until eggs are set.

Remove from the oven and let cool before removing from the ،in pan. Then store for easy breakfasts later, or garnish with additional scallions to enjoy right away!

Switch It Up

• Make it veget،. Take the ham out of the equation, and this becomes veget، (t،ugh not vegan).
• Switch the ham. Ca،ian bacon is great, but bacon bits or sliced luncheon meat both work great as well.
• Change up the vegetables. Throw in whatever you have! Corn, spinach, and bell peppers are other options I’ve tried.
