The Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make Ham and Egg Cups (the exact measurements and full recipe instructions are below in the easy-to-print recipe card):
Eggs – you will need 10 large eggs for this recipe.
Salt & Pepper
Green onions – this ingredient is optional and we did not use it in our muffins, but it can add a nice hint of flavor and color if you like.
Ham – we use deli ham, but any thinly sliced ham you like will work well. Thicker slices of ham do not bend and form well to the muffin cups, so thin sliced is essential.
Shredded cheddar cheese – you can also experiment with other types of cheese in this recipe, but cheddar is always a good option.
How to Make Ham and Egg Cups
Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Spray a muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.
Press individual ham slices into each muffin tin well to form a cup.
Add a heaping tablespoon of the shredded cheddar cheese into each ham cup.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and pepper. If you want to use green onions, add them as well.
Ladle into the muffin cups over the cheese.
Bake at 350F for 20-25 minutes until the eggs are set. Gently run a knife around the edges of each muffin to release from the pan, then lift out with a fork.
Serve the Ham and Egg Cups hot. We enjoy them with a side of hashbrowns and fresh fruit.
How to Store Leftover Ham and Egg Muffins
Keep the leftover ham, egg, and cheese cups in an airtight food storage container or a zip-top bag. Refrigerate for up to three days, or freeze for up to three months. Reheat individual servings in the microwave until warm.
