I made this simple breakfast dish for overnight guests in early February. Unfortunately, they had to leave before they could be oven-ready so I popped them into the nuker and presto, done in three minutes! They are super easy to put together the morning of, but I wanted even less kitchen time so I assembled them the night before. To bake quickly, allow them to come to room temperature for an hour before you bake them.
Ham and Cheese Egg Cups
A KitchenInspirations Original Recipe
Serves 4
Ingredients:
- 6 large eggs
- 200 g of cooked ham
- 200 g of grated cheese, divided
- 50 g of tiny broccoli florets
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- Spray each ramekin with non-stick spray.
- Break the eggs into a medium bowl snd whisk well to break the yolks and combine with the whites.
- Add the ham and broccoli florets and mix well. Add the cheese, reserving a small amount to garnish the tops.
- Divide the mixture evenly between the four prepped ramekins. Garnish with reserved cheese.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Or you can nuke them for 3 minutes on high.
- Allow ramekins to sit for about 5 minutes before serving. Option to serve: Carefully turn out each egg cup onto a warm plate and turn right-side-up. Serve warm.
Notes:
Inclusions are limitless:
- Smoked salmon, capers, red onion slices, cream cheese.
- Cooked shredded chicken, roasted red pepper cubes, avocado cubes, sliced onions, roasted corn, shredded jalapeño jack cheese, served with salsa.
- Roast pork tenderloin, sluced red onions, sliced black olives, roasted red pepper and greek feta served with Tzatziki sauce.
The nuker to the rescue! (brings a great rise too) — egg cups are so quick and satisfying – so many ways to change up the flavors too; haven’t made them in ages, thank you for the reminder. I usually pop them into a muffin tin but your ramekins are way prettier 🙂
