    This is such a great, tasty recipe! I have been looking for a way to get a high-protein, portable breakfast that is not in the form of an energy shake or bar! This fit the bill exactly. I used black forest ham and I cooked the eggs for about 13 minutes - I like mine a bit more done. A++++++ - 4/15/09

    Fantastic! I too let the eggs cook longer as I like them firmer. The ham became a little burned as a result. Next time, I believe I'll cook the ham for only 5 minutes before adding the eggs, and cook the eggs 13-15 minutes instead of 10. Should balance out nicely. Such a great breakfast!! - 6/9/09

    I loved these quick and easy breakfast cups! I added some chopped onion, red & green pepper and a few brocolli bits for more veggie punch. You could even throw in a few toasted pine nuts...yummy! - 6/25/09

    Very good and easy to make. I freeze a bunch and eat 1 for breakfast during the busy workweek. My hubby also loved them. I used reduced fat cheddar cheese on top. - 10/29/08

    I have made something like this before! Instead of putting the ham on the bottom I have used reduced fat croissent roles, just put them flat for a crust. I have also used egg beaters instead of regular eggs, and put whatever veggies I need to get rid of. Made them for Mother's Day, they were a hit - 6/30/09

    this is a great idea! I was so excited to make it, I couldn't wait til I had all the ingredients - so mine were just turkey bacon, eggs and basil. My husband said "does it GET any better??" These would be great on english muffins! - 7/26/09

    I've made these 3 or 4 times now and my whole family loves them. My kids eat two sometimes for breakfast. Easy to keep for a few days in the fridge and heat up for breakfast before school. Will make over and over again. I left out the chives since my young kids would have balked at them. - 2/7/09

    I love this recipe!! I improvised a bit -- I baked the ham for 5 minutes in the cupcake tin, then added raw scrambled eggs (including onion, lowfat cheese, salt, pepper, and chives), and baked for 16 minutes. Then, cooled for about 5 minutes before serving. Perfect! - 7/12/09

    Sounds good; I've made these many times in custard cups and using artichoke bottoms or asparagus on the bottom. I no longer use any pork or processed meats. - 7/2/09

    Loved this handy option (and fun for kids). I used deli turkey instead of ham to line cups and added whatever vegetables I had on hand as well. Actually ended up mixing the whole mixture together as if I was making scrambled eggs and poured in the lined muffin tin. - 8/5/09

    great with turkey bacon and takes less time to cook. sometimes you have to add a little oil to tins as the turkey bacon is not as greasy as regular bacon. - 7/2/09

    These are IN my Nutrition Tracker as a staple! Used fresh chives from my herb garden and baked eggs 15 min after toasting ham. No need for spray with a non-stick muffin pan & ham has enough fat to prevent stick! Thanks sooo MUCH for sharing!! Can't wait to try some of the suggestions here! - 7/12/09

    This was simple and great. I did not have any chives so I used tarragon, and I sprinkled the cheese on top the raw egg and baked it with the egg. This will become a regular brunch in our house. We served it with cucumber slices. daughter squashed it between two pieces of toast. LOL - 7/8/09

    I must agree with FLORIDASUN and LOVEBEAM above in their praise, and add some of my tricks as well.

    I cut the fats by using Egg Substatutes, in a carton, and at a certain kitchen gadget store (initials are W-S) I found an oil mister which uses hand pump air as a propellent for the cooking spray. - 7/2/09
