Make healthy egg muffin cups out of thin slices of ham using a muffin tin. It gives a delicious, beautiful and protein-packed low carb breakfast. Though simple to make, they are elegant enough to serve to guests. Each egg comes in it’s own little cup made of baked ham.
Actually, for many, eggs are a staple food that you eat almost every day, but sometimes you can get tired of classic boiled eggs or scrambled eggs, then this is a great alternative.
The eggs bake up so nice and fluffy and the ham gets just a little crispy around the edges. Besides my suggestions regarding fillings, there´s a whole lot of other add-in flavors. Try mixing bacon crumbs, tomatoes, different hams, seasonings and onions. You can’t go wrong.
