  • A recipe from Costco inspired me. Easy prep and yummy! I think it’d be a delicious brunch item… but I’d double the recipe if you have a bunch of adults around the table.

Ingredients

  • 12 slices of ham (medium thickness)
  • 1/2 cup softened or whipped cream cheese
  • 4-6 eggs
  • milk
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tbsp. dried basil or parsley
  • 3/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 chopped cherry or grape tomatoes (optional, my kids don’t like tomatoes so much)

MAIN INGREDIENT Pork
MEAL/COURSE Breakfast
COOKING METHOD Oven
CUISINE American

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 400 deg.
  2. Prep 12-cup regular muffin pan with spray/oil/butter.
  3. Place each slice of ham in each cup forming to fit. It’s okay if the ham sticks out.
  4. Smear some cream cheese in the ham cups, evenly dividing among the cups.
  5. Now prep the eggs… I say 4 to 6 eggs because you might want your cup more egg-y.
  6. I cracked 4 eggs in a glass measuring cup, whisked and then added enough milk to make just about 2 cups of liquid.
  7. I brought out our immersion blender and whipped it all frothy.
  8. Add the salt and herbs.
  9. Pour mixture evenly into the ham cups.
  10. Top with cheese (and tomato).
  11. Bake for approximately 10-15 minutes.
  12. Check center with a toothpick. Should come out clean.
  13. Take out of oven and let set for a few minutes.
  14. Serve hot, warm.

interesting can i use bacon?

Thanks, Tera. I haven't tried bacon, not that I don't love it. :) I bet you could. You could probably try it with leaner bacon. I'd be worried about the grease.
