Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
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.
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.
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.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, coconut milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Evenly distribute the sautéed red pepper and onion into each of the ham-lined muffin cups.
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.
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!
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.
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.
