Ham & Egg Cups

Coming up with new, healthy breakfast ideas is always a challenge, especially on school mornings. My kids are happy to have cereal or toast with fruit every day, but because they are both so active, I like them to start the day with a nutritious breakfast that is high in protein—like eggs. Eating foods high in protein will help them stay full longer, thereby allowing them to stay focused at school. Fried, scrambled, soft boiled and poached are all good options, but more recently, I have been making what we call, ‘Ham and Egg Cups’. They are simple, delicious and fun to eat! The best part about this recipe is that you can cook a lot of eggs all at the same time, so it’s great to do if you are serving a crowd.

My boys love them because they are simple enough to make on their own (when we’re not running behind schedule).

Good to know: You can make a few of these ahead of time and warm them up in the microwave the next day.

Ham and Egg Cups

Serves 3

You’ll Need

  • 6 slices of cooked deli ham/turkey
  • 6 eggs
  • ¼ cup grated cheddar cheese

Prep and Cook

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F .
  2. Line the inside of a muffin tin with a slice of ham (folding in the ends to make a flower shape).
  3. Crack one egg into the ham.
  4. Continue with the other 5 cups.
  5. Cook for approximately 12 minutes or until the top of the egg is white, but the yolk still moves.
  6. Sprinkle the tops of the eggs with shredded cheese.
  7. Serve immediately, two per person, with ‘soldier boys’ (toast spears) for dipping and a side of fruit.
