Perfect for that one minute breakfast on the go. This is a modified version of the Egg, Ham and Cheese Take-a-Longs recipe from No Pain, No Grain.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners (foil works better since it doesn't stick). Or if you aren't eating this on the go, just lube up the pan with bacon grease or coconut oil.
  3. In each muffin well do the following:
    1. Cover the bottom with ham.
    2. Add 1 egg and optionally beat it quickly with a fork.
    3. Add salt and pepper.
    4. Cover with cheese.
  4. Bake for 15 minutes and let it rest for 5 minutes.

The first time you make this, I recommend making only 1-2 and seeing how long you like your eggs cooked, scrambled vs. whole, etc. Remember that when you reheat it that the eggs will cook a bit more.

Variations

Bacon!

Sub out cooked bacon for the ham.

Morning Sausage

Use crumbled chorizo or cooked sausage instead of ham. Add Rooster Sauce (a.k.a. Sriracha sauce) before topping with cheese.

Where's the Veggies?

For those who insist on getting their veggies on in the morning, add sautéed onions and bell peppers.
