Mini Ham and Egg Cups

I'm not a big fan of soft yolks or fried eggs in general. I'm a scrambled egg girl... with cheese, of course. :) So I adapted this recipe to my liking from another recipe I saw online (don't we all do that to a recipe?). These could totally be adapted to have whatever you wanted in your scrambled egg mixture to be more of a quiche, too. Super fun and flexible!

Ingredients:
3 eggs
2 Tbsp milk
salt and pepper
Cheese, cubed
12 Deli Ham slices

(Makes 6 Ham and Egg Cups or increase ingredients to make as many as you need.)

Mix up into a measuring cup with a pouring spout (it will be easier, I promise).
I actually ended up cutting these up a little smaller so that they'd be sure to melt.Put an ungreased muffin pan into the oven and preheat the oven to 400. Once 400 is reached, remove the pan, and turn the oven up to 450. Quickly spray the tins with non-stick spray and put 2 ham slices in each muffin cup. (The first time I made these, I only did one...and 2 would have been better.) Pour egg into each cup and then put a few cubes of cheese into each one as well. (I only made 5 the first time, but there was definitely enough egg for 6.)These are the ham slices I used.Bake ham and egg cups for 10 minutes. Turn off the oven and let sit for 1 minute. Remove from oven and gently remove cups with a spoon.Serve with desired side dish. My husband liked to sprinkle Frank's Hot sauce on them and pop them into his mouth. My kids LOVED them as well.
I thought they looked super cute!!
Here is how is how they look with the cheese melted on the inside.

Breakfast Sandwich - Homemade Egg McMuffin

from my own brain
- I know there are other blogs out there with this on it. But I did just think of it myself one morning since I knew there wasn't a McD's or BK even close to my house. :) And yes, I promise there is an egg in that picture. The cheese is just melted over it.

And, I know we're trying to add lo-fat, lo-cal recipes. But I have to add this one. It's so yummy!

English Muffins
Eggs
American Cheese slices
Bacon slices or ham
Syrup (optional)

These are easy, but so yummy. Toast the english muffin. Cook the egg to your liking. My husband likes his fried (and with a runny yolk), but I like it scrambled and patted down into a flat egg (like you get at the restaurant). Place on english muffin bottom. Add cheese slice while egg is still warm so it can slightly melt. Place ham or bacon on top and put english muffin on top. We use the precooked bacon and do 1 slice of bacon (cut into half) per sandwich. For extra yummyness, drizzle a tiny bit of syrup over the top of the ham/bacon, or the egg if you want, before you put on the english muffin top. If we do ham, I either use ham from a dinner we had or if I have it on hand, I use the canadian bacon you get at Sam's Club (it is in a pkg with lots of presliced Canadian Bacon pieces --they're a great size). My husband likes to dip his sandwich in ketchup. I like to use a little more syrup. Naughty!, I know. But hey, we don't have them everyday... it's okay.

There you have it, you're own Egg McMuffin sandwich -at home! Not hard, easy to do and you can make as many or as few as you want.
