HAM AND EGG BREAKFAST CUPS

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Preheat an oven to 350 F.
• Spray a muffin pan (6 tins) with cooking oil or grease with butter. Ideally, use a nonstick muffin pan. Line each tin with a piece of ham. Let the center of each piece of ham drop into the bottom of the tin, then press it down and along the edges, letting the ham fold to fit the tin. Put 1 tablespoon of cheese in the bottom of each ham-lined tin. Set aside.
• Trim the green onions and finely chop the white and light green parts. Discard the dark green tops or reserve for another use. Divide the chopped green onion evenly between the 6 tins.
• Crack the eggs into a medium bowl. Whisk the eggs until smooth, with no puddles of yolks or strings of whites. Add the milk and whisk to combine.
• Divide the egg mixture evenly between the 6 tins. Pour the mixture gently into the tins. As you pour, some of the egg mixture may flow in between the tin and the ham-don't worry, that's why you've sprayed the tin with oil!
• Bake until the egg mixture puffs slightly and is set, about 20 minutes.
• Let the ham and egg cups sit a few minutes before removing them from the tins. Use a spoon or small spatula to gently remove the ham and egg cups from the tins.
• Serve immediately (although they aren't bad just warm or even at room temperature). Enjoy!
