How to Make Eggs In Maple Ham Cups

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Position one baking rack in the middle of the oven.
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter or margarine. Using a pastry brush, generously coat the inside of all 12 cups of a standard-size muffin tin.
  3. Fit 1 slice (approximately 3 inches x 3 inches) of cooked ham into each muffin cup, pressing gently to line the cup. The ends will stick up over the edges.
  4. Spoon 1/2 teaspoon of maple syrup into the bottom of each ham cup, followed by 1/2 teaspoon of chopped fresh dill or chives.
  5. Carefully crack 1 large egg into each ham cup.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until egg whites are set and yolks are cooked to your liking. If large bubbles form on the eggs during baking, gently pierce them with a toothpick.
  7. Remove from oven and season eggs with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Using two small spatulas or spoons, carefully lift the ham cups from the muffin tin and place them on a serving plate.
  9. Garnish with fresh herb sprigs (optional).
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy!
