I had another post planned for today, and I really didn’t even plan on making these ham and egg muffins. Actually, I’ve never made anything but traditional muffins in a muffin tin, but that’s definitely changing — soon!

I know there are a billion recipes for muffin tin meals out there, and now I know why they’re so popular.

I love making ham and eggs with thick slices of leftover ham, but the kids don’t care for this combo at all. Normally, I would make it anyway, but I didn’t feel like doing battle today. Since the kiddos eat just about anything that looks like a muffin, I decided to make this version instead.

And since the the Hubs is a huge fan of ham and cheese anything, we worked together on this one!

Ingredients

1 dozen eggs
1 cup cooked ham diced
1 cup shredded colby jack or cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon ground pepper
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
Whisk eggs, pepper, onions and mustard together, then stir in ham and shredded cheddar or colby jack.
Fill muffin cups almost to the tops with egg mixture, and bake for about 20 minutes or until toothpick comes out fairly clean.
Top with Parmesan cheese before serving, and enjoy!

Some of the kids usually insist on drowning their eggs in ketchup or barbecue sauce, but they only dipped these little egg muffins into the sauce this time. And really, nobody complained!

The mustard adds a nice little kick, but you really can’t taste the mustard itself at all. But if you’re not a mustard lover, you can just leave it out.

I’ll definitely be making these cheesy ham and egg cups again, but next time around, I think I’ll try to spice them up a little more or maybe add some bacon. Mmm — bacon!

These sound really good, Dee! The Man cooked a ham for us for Christmas day. I'll have to really cut this recipe down for just the two of us!

Warm hugs,

Those sound good. We have to much ham leftover (and I've already made a good three recipes). Even better– I think I have all the ingredients already!

Hi there,
I have a ton of ham and eggs, but I am leaving on vaca in a day. I am wondering if I can freeze these?

Thanks : )

  I haven’t personally tried to, but I know some people who have. If you wrap them up well, they should be fine. 🙂
