Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F and line a muffin tin with two ham slices per cup, overlapping slightly.

  2. Step 2

    Crack one egg into each ham cup, sprinkle cheddar and a pinch of salt and pepper over top.

  3. Step 3

    Bake until egg whites are set but yolks still jiggle slightly, about 10–12 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Toss cherry tomatoes with olive oil and salt, then roast on a separate sheet pan alongside the eggs.

  5. Step 5

    Remove ham cups and tomatoes from oven, let cool 2 minutes, then slide onto a plate.
