I have baked these eggs using whole or scrambled with a mixture of some favorite vegetables or just plain and no matter which way we make them they're oozing with delicious cheese cradled in a thin ham slice of deli meat.
We like to use a low sodium deli ham preferably black forest or leftover baked spiral honey ham after an Easter Holiday which is always on our breakfast menu the next day!
Easy to make ahead of time breakfast egg cups and truly a delicious way to start the day.
These sure beat all those carbs from bread and are actually a perfect keto breakfast.
Adding your favorite chopped vegetables these are a super treat packed with all the vitamins you need to start your day.
Scrambled are perfect for reheating and definitely a better choice than whole eggs for reheating.

Easy Breakfast on the Go
Ham and egg cups are amazing for dieters and carb watchers.
The all-in-one breakfast can be adapted so easily to your dietary needs.
There is no right or wrong in building these egg cups to your taste buds, just check out some of our suggestions for all the meat lovers out there, and if you don't want to use cheese, try some cashew cheese for a real healthy alternative and add turkey ham on the bottom.
Whole Eggs or Scrambled Additions
- add chopped peppers, chopped onions, chopped tomatoes, chopped artichoke hearts, chopped asparagus, chopped drained spinach or freshly chopped leaves, finely minced garlic, chopped olives,
- for meat lovers add cooked loose sausage, crumbled bacon
- use cashew cheese instead of regular
- substitute turkey ham for regular and low sodium meats
- Note: for scrambled eggs add the mixed vegetables and meat to the scrambled eggs before baking
- If using a whole egg add the vegetables and meat before topping with the whole eggs
- spray the tin generously with cooking spray for easy removal
- use an ice cream scoop or gravy ladle to add scrambled eggs
- meatless cups can be made also using this recipe with scrambled eggs
