Paleo ham & egg cups with red pepper, onion and coconut milk

Enjoy a healthy twist on breakfast with our Paleo ham & egg cups featuring red pepper, onion, and creamy coconut milk. These cups are not only delicious but also paleo-friendly, making them a perfect start to your day. With a combination of savory ham, fresh vegetables, and rich coconut milk, this recipe is both nutritious and easy to prepare.

Ingredients:

6 slices ham
170g
4 eggs
220g
1/4 cup coconut milk
54g
1/2 cup red pepper
77g
1/4 cup onion
40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 tsp coconut oil
4.50g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prep the Muffin Tin:
Using a silicone brush or a paper towel, lightly grease the cups of a muffin tin with the coconut oil. This will help prevent the ham and eggs from sticking.
3. Prepare the Vegetables:
Heat a small skillet over medium heat. If necessary, add a tiny bit of the coconut oil to the skillet. Sauté the finely diced red pepper and onion until they are softened, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. Assemble the Ham Cups:
Line each muffin cup with a slice of ham, pressing it down gently so it forms a cup. The edges of the ham slices may stick out a little, which is fine.
5. Mix the Egg Mixture:
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, coconut milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
6. Add Vegetables to Ham Cups:
Evenly distribute the sautéed red pepper and onion into each of the ham-lined muffin cups.
7. Pour in the Egg Mixture:
Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables in each ham cup, filling each cup to about 3/4 full. The egg mixture will expand as it bakes.
8. Bake:
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and slightly golden on top. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the egg cups—if it comes out clean, they're ready!
9. Cool and Serve:
Once done, remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the ham & egg cups to cool for a few minutes before removing them from the tin. You can use a small knife to gently loosen the edges if needed.
10. Enjoy:
Serve warm. These ham & egg cups are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even a protein-rich snack.

Tips:

- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) before you start assembling the cups to save time.

- Use a non-stick muffin tin or grease your muffin tin with coconut oil to ensure the cups come out easily.

- Feel free to customize the recipe by adding other veggies like spinach or mushrooms to add more flavor and nutrients.

- If you prefer a more well-done egg, whisk them before pouring over the vegetables and ham in the muffin cups.

- Allow the egg cups to cool for a few minutes before removing them from the tin to help them set and hold their shape better.

These Paleo ham & egg cups are a delightful and nutritious way to start your day or serve as a protein-packed snack. With the perfect blend of savory ham, fresh vegetables, and creamy coconut milk, this recipe is sure to become a favorite. Enjoy the simplicity and flavor of these easy-to-make cups while sticking to your paleo diet.
