    These Black Forest Ham, Egg, and Cheese Cups are easy and simple to make.

    Steps:

    Follow these easy steps to make ham egg cups:

    1. In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs, milk, and cream cheese. Add in salt and pepper and mix.
    2. Mix in roasted red peppers and chives.
    3. Lightly grease muffin pan. Insert a slice of ham in each muffin cup and gently press down in the middle until a cup shape forms. Be careful not to tear and make sure that there are no gaps or holes.
    4. Evenly distribute the cheese in each of the ham cups.
    5. Using a scoop or measuring cup, evenly distribute the egg mixture in each of the ham cups.
    6. Bake egg cups for about 25 minutes until cooked. Serve.

    Can you freeze leftovers?

    The individual egg cups are fun for entertaining, but they also are easy to freeze.

    To freeze: Cook them according to directions. After cooled, wrap them well and store them in a freezer approved container. Defrost them when you are ready to eat them and just reheat. It is best to reheat in the oven, but you can microwave them.

    Note:

    I used sharp cheddar in this egg recipe, but it would be delicious with swiss or goat cheese. You can also add in mushrooms and asparagus.

    Just think of the egg cups like an omelet where you can change out your veggies and cheese.

    Everything will be delicious, so have fun with it! If you enjoyed this black forest ham and cheese egg cups, leave me a comment or share the article with friends and family.

    I recently wrote an article for City View Magazine called "Breakfast for the Holidays".

    In the article I included this recipe, along with Make Ahead Raspberry French Toast Casserole , Strawberry Stuffed Cinnamon Toast Roll-Ups, and Jalapeño Cheese Grits.

    All of these recipes are perfect for entertaining and everyday cooking.
