Baked Ham and Egg Cups

Easy Baked Ham and Egg Cups are one of the easiest breakfast ever! Fill these delicious ham cups with cheese, peppers, olives, or anything your heart desires for a make-Ahead, customizable breakfast and make everyone happy! 

These ham and egg cups made by placing slices of ham and then filling with toppings of your choice, eggs, and then baked to perfection. Serve them up with fresh fruit and an English Muffin, for a tasty breakfast that is great for busy mornings, but is also perfect to serve guests for brunch.

Baked Egg Cups make a perfect breakfast.

They are easy to make, filled with protein, and can be made ahead.

And on busy, mornings, we ALL need options that we can make ahead of time. We also need breakfast recipes that everyone will actually eat and enjoy, and at my house, EVERYONE has different taste preferences.

I love it when I can customize the flavors in a breakfast–especially a grab and go breakfast, like these Baked Ham and Egg Cups or Overnight Oats.

Key Ingredients

You only need 3 ingredients to make these. Thinly sliced ham, eggs, and dairy of some sort.

But while Ham and Egg Cups would still be delicious with those 3 simple ingredients, I love to add olives, spinach, cheese, or peppers to the mix to enjoy variety and flavor.

My favorite combinations are Mediterranean, Western, and three cheese varieties. But use your imagination and taste preference to dictate how you prepare the filling.

• Mediterranean Ham and Egg Cups add in chopped spinach, chopped grape tomatoes, Feta Cheese, and chopped kalamative Olives.
• Western Style Ham and Egg Cups add in shredded Cheddar Cheese, diced fresh onions, and diced baby sweet peppers.
• Three Cheese Ham and Egg Cups add in shredded Gouda Cheese, Swiss Cheese, and parmesan cheese.

How to Make Baked Ham and Egg Cups

• Start by layering in ham into a muffin tin. You may need more than one slice, depending on the size of your ham slices. A silicone muffin pan works best to prevent the ham and eggs from sticking to the pan. If not using a silicone pan, grease well.

• Sprinkle the ham cups with any filling you would like–you can do a variety of fillings as pictured here.

• Mix eggs with a splash of organic milk and salt and pepper together.

• Bake and serve or store for those busy mornings or a brunch.

Make-Ahead Instructions

This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled.

Once ham and egg cups are baked as directed, allow them to cool. Refrigerate for up to 4 days. Warm for 30-45 seconds in the microwave.

Alternatively, you can freeze these egg cups for up to 3 months. Once baked and cooled, place the cups on a baking sheet and freeze until solid, 1 hour or overnight. Transfer to a freezer-safe container or bag. To serve, remove from freezer and heat in the microwave for 1 minute or in a 350-degree oven for 10-15 minutes, or until just warmed through.
