Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 6 slices sliced deli ham
- 0.75 cups cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons chives, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a muffin tin by lightly greasing six cups with melted butter.
Step 2
Lay a slice of ham in each of the prepared muffin cups, pressing them gently to make a cup shape. Ensure the sides of the ham slightly overlap to hold the shape.
Step 3
Crack one egg into each ham cup, taking care to not break the yolks.
Step 4
Season each egg with a pinch of salt and black pepper according to your taste.
Step 5
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top of each egg, ensuring it's evenly distributed.
Step 6
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny.
Step 7
Once baked, remove the muffin tin from the oven and let it cool for a minute.
Step 8
Carefully lift each ham and egg cup out of the muffin tin using a spoon.
Step 9
Garnish each cup with freshly chopped chives before serving.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious low-carb ham and egg breakfast!
