Ham & Cheese Egg Cups

I love a good breakfast food especially when it is easy and looks good.  I found this recipe, and I tucked it away to be used for brinner {breakfast + dinner}.  SUCCESS!  You could get so creative with these.  Don’t feel tied down.  I modified the original recipe, and they were still delicious.

These would be great if you had kids with friends sleeping over.  Serve them with toast, and you have a cool breakfast!

Ham & Cheese Egg Cups {modified from Eatin’ on the Cheap}

Ingredients:

• 6 slices of thin deli ham
• 1/2 cup frozen corn kernels
• 6 eggs
• 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Spray a muffin pan with olive oil.
2. Line 6 muffin cups with a slice of the ham.
3. Place some of the corn {or whatever veggie you want} in each little ham cup.
4. Next add some cheese.
5. Crack an egg on top of each cup.  I recommend using the whole egg and not just the whites {although that may work}
6. Cook for about 30 minutes. 
   
   

Grade: A-

Comments: These were really good!  I think the corn was a better decision than the spinach that the original recipe used, but you could try any veggie you wanted really.  I think I could have improved it by topping it with salsa or even a little ketchup.  It was a great dish, and I’ll definitely be making them when we have company for brunch or breakfast!
