Ham and Egg Cups

Fun to serve for breakfast when you have company.

Ham and Egg Cups

Ingredients

4 pieces thinly sliced deli-style cooked ham (about 4 ounces)
4 eggs
salt and pepper
4 tsp half-and-half or light cream
shredded cheese or snipped fresh herbs (optional)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Lightly butter four 6-oz custard cups. (I have used a muffin tin.)  Place custard cups on a baking sheet.  Line each with piece of ham, pleating to fit.

Break 1 egg into each cup.  Sprinkle with salt and pepper.   Pour half-and-half over each.  Cover with foil.

Bake the egg cups in 350 degree oven 20-25 minutes or until eggs are firm and whites are opaque.  If you like, garnish with some cheese or herbs.
