Make It Now:

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray.
  2. Line each muffin cup with 1-2 slices of ham.
  3. Crack one egg into each muffin cup. (Optional: You can also scramble the eggs with a splash of milk in a  separate bowl before adding to the muffin tins, if you prefer scrambled eggs.)
  4. Top each egg with 2 tablespoons of cheese.
  5. Bake for 15-17 minutes, until the egg is set in the middle. Let cool slightly and enjoy!

Freeze For Later: Bake the Ham and Egg Cups as directed in recipe and let cool completely. Then, place them in a gallon-sized freezer bag or container in a single layer, squeeze out any air, seal, and freeze flat.

Prepare From Frozen: Thaw overnight in the refrigerator or pop in the microwave for a quick defrost. Then, warm in the microwave in 20-second increments until warmed through.
