Are you always rushing out the door in the morning? Getting kids onto the school bus? Hurrying to be sure that you are at your desk on time? Maybe the dog needs to get to his vet appointment and you just haven’t had time to eat anything for breakfast. Maybe you are a person who just can’t eat anything in the morning until you have had time to relax a little. Here is the perfect answer. You can make these on a weekend or the night before and keep in the fridge for up to 3 days wrapped in saran wrap.
8 ounces of cooked ham, finely chopped. (1 3/4 cup)
1 cup finely chopped red bell pepper (You can use green if you prefer the taste).
1 cup finely chopped onion
8 eggs
2 Tbls. water
1/4 tsp salt (or eliminate it if ham is salt enough for you)
1/8 tsp. pepper
Pre heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 12 – 2 1/2″ muffin cups or line them with paper liners.
Stir together ham, peppers and onion in a large bowl.
Spoon 1/4 cup of this mixture into each muffin cup.
Whisk together eggs, water, salt and pepper in a bowl.
Spoon 2 1/2 TBSP. evenly over ham mixture in each cup. Cups will be full.
Bake until knife inserted in middle of muffins comes out clean. About 18 to 20 minutes.
Remove from oven and run a knife around edges of muffin. Transfer muffins to a wire rack and allow to cool. You may want to try to reheat in a microwave when removing from fridge. I usually try for about 22 second. Just enough to take the chill off but not re-bake the eggs.
