A delightful twist on a classic breakfast, these savory cups combine eggs, ham, and cheese baked to perfection in a muffin tin.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right texture for your breakfast cups.
Grease the muffin tin with melted butter to prevent sticking.
Use a pastry brush for even application of the butter.
Tear the bread slices into small pieces and place them at the bottom of each muffin cup.
Ensure the bread pieces cover the bottom evenly for a sturdy base.
Add diced ham and shredded cheese on top of the bread in each muffin cup.
Distribute the ham and cheese evenly for consistent flavor.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Whisking thoroughly ensures a uniform texture for the egg mixture.
Pour the egg mixture over the ingredients in each muffin cup, filling them about three-quarters full.
Pour slowly to avoid spilling and ensure even distribution.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set.
Check for doneness by gently shaking the tin; the eggs should not jiggle.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Allowing the cups to cool makes them easier to remove from the tin.
