These vibrant green eggs nestled in crispy ham cups make a quick, tasty, and nutritious breakfast perfect for busy mornings or brunch gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, packed
  • 6 cooked ham slices, thinly sliced (preferably Black Forest ham)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • Butter or non-stick spray for greasing muffin tin

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Lightly grease six cups of a muffin tin. Press one slice of ham into each cup, shaping it so the edges come up like little bowls. Set aside.
  3. In a blender or food processor, add the fresh spinach and eggs. Blend until smooth and bright green, about 30 seconds. If using a hand blender, mix until no chunks remain.
  4. Pour the green egg mixture into a bowl. Whisk in the milk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder (if using).
  5. Carefully pour the egg mixture evenly into each ham cup—about 1/4 cup (60 ml) per cup. Do not overfill.
  6. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top of each cup.
  7. Place the muffin tin on the center rack and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the eggs are set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  8. Let the breakfast cups cool for 5 minutes before carefully removing them with a small spatula or butter knife.

Notes

Grease muffin tin well to prevent sticking. Use room temperature eggs for even cooking. If ham cups are not crispy enough, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end, watching closely. Frozen spinach can be used if thawed and excess water squeezed out. Variations include swapping ham for mushrooms or turkey, using different cheeses, or making dairy-free with plant-based alternatives.
