Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a muffin tin generously.
If using, press a round of mini bagel, croissant, or English muffin into each muffin cup to create a sturdy base. This step adds a buttery crunch.
Place a slice of ham or prosciutto in each cup, allowing the edges to drape over the sides. Scatter a few spinach leaves and slices of cherry tomatoes on top of the ham.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream (or milk), salt, and pepper until smooth and frothy.
Pour the egg mixture evenly into each cup, covering the fillings but not letting it overflow. Top with a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the tops are golden brown. Let the cups cool in the tin for a couple of minutes before releasing them carefully with a spatula.
Garnish with chopped chives or green onions. Optionally, add a dusting of smoked paprika or chili flakes for extra flavor.

Notes

If you’re making these dairy-free, swap the heavy cream for a dairy-free alternative and use dairy-free cheese.
You can easily customize the fillings by adding sautéed mushrooms, diced bell peppers, or different cheeses. Try swapping ham for cooked bacon or turkey.
For meal prep, these cups store well in the fridge for 3-4 days or can be frozen for up to 2 months. Simply reheat them in the microwave or oven before serving.
