Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Butter a 4-cup muffin tin generously.

  2. Step 2

    Line each muffin cup with 2 ham slices, overlapping slightly and draping over the edges.

  3. Step 3

    Crack one egg into each ham cup. Top with cheese and chives. Season with salt and pepper.

  4. Step 4

    Bake 12–14 minutes until egg whites are set but yolks still jiggle slightly when gently shaken.

  5. Step 5

    Cool 2 minutes, then carefully lift each cup using a fork and slide onto a plate. Serve hot.
