I’ve mentioned before that this holiday season I’m trying out some new breakfast recipes to keep people out of my hair in the kitchen when I’m making the big meals.

Additionally, the cups are versatile, allowing you to customize them with various ingredients like cheese, vegetables, or spices to suit your preferences. Lastly, they are an excellent option for those who prefer their ham and eggs without the muffin, providing a gluten-free alternative. In summary, these Breakfast Ham and Egg Cups offer a visually pleasing, customizable, and versatile way to enjoy this classic breakfast combination, making them a delicious and convenient choice.
Ingredients for Breakfast Ham and Egg Cups
Lunchmeat Ham or Other Ham of Choice: Lunchmeat ham is thin-sliced ham, similar to what you might use in sandwiches, that adds a savory flavor to your cups.
Shredded Cheddar Cheese: It’s finely grated cheese with a strong, tangy taste that melts beautifully, making your cups rich and cheesy.
Green Onion: These are fresh green onions with a mild onion flavor. They add a touch of freshness and a little zing to your cups.
Eggs: Eggs are a protein-packed ingredient that binds your cups together and gives them that classic egg taste.
Black Pepper: This is a common seasoning that adds a little heat and a burst of flavor to your cups.
