finished egg cups |
Baked Eggs in Ham Cups: serves 6 ( 4 points + )
- 6 slices ( 1 oz. each ) round ham, such as Virginia ham
- 6 large eggs
- 3 oz. part-skim mozzarella, diced into 12 cubes
- 6 grape tomatoes, halved
- salt and pepper to taste
Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray. Preheat oven to 375.
Fold ham into quarters. Place point into the center of the muffin cup. Open up the ham so that if forms a cup. Carefully crack one egg into each cup. Tuck in mozzarella and tomatoes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake 15-20 minutes or until the egg whites look set, but the yolk is still a bit runny.

These looks so yummy!
ReplyDeleteMy son called me about a month ago to tell me he'd made this fantastic breakfast recipe. It sounded good so I wrote it down...well it's these egg cups! His didn't have cheese and tomatoes, mine will though! I'm making these this morning! TY for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThe meal plan service I use (shout out to Shrinking On A Budget Meal Plans) has these, but uses grated cheese, scrambled eggs and chopped tomatoes. That method is more kid friendly, but this looks amazing! When I do the recipe next time I might use the chunks of cheese, whole tomatoes and the runny yolk for me. YUMMM
