Instructions

1

Preheat and prepare

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius or 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray 4 cups of a muffin tin generously with non-stick cooking spray.

2

Form the ham cups

Press one slice of ham into each prepared muffin cup, pressing it against the sides to form a cup shape that will hold the egg.

3

Add eggs and cheese

Carefully crack one egg into each ham cup. Season with salt and pepper and top each with a pinch of shredded cheddar cheese.

Bake and serve

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes until the egg whites are fully set but the yolks are still slightly runny. Remove carefully, garnish with chives, and serve immediately.
