Super Easy Breakfast Cups

Mornings for our family usually consist of cold cereal, yogurt w/fruit and nuts, or waffles from the freezer (when we have them, I make them homemade gluten-free in triple batches and freeze whatever they do not eat the day I make them).   But today, today is different!  I wanted to try something new, something that would be more in the area of a hot breakfast.  :)

You know those silicone baking cups for cupcakes?  Well, we have butterfly shaped ones, flower shaped ones and the regular round cupcake cups.  Today I made scrambled eggs w/ham and cheese inside those single serve cups!

My recipe uses 9 silicone cupcake cups (you can adjust ingredients to make more or less).

6 large eggs
2/3 cup almond milk
about 1 cup diced ham chunks (small pieces)
about 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Crack eggs into a large measuring cup (I used a 6 cup measuring cup with spout for easy pouring), add the almond milk and mix well.  Continue to beat eggs and milk mixture until it resembles a scrambled egg mixture look to it.  If you've never made scrambled eggs, then all you are aiming for is that all the yokes are broken and thoroughly mixed together.

Next I sprayed the 9 baking cups with non-stick cooking spray (all the instructions I've ever read say that you do not need to spray silicone baking cups, but I do.  You don't have to if you normally don't.  It's just something I've always done) and place them onto a cookie sheet.  Place about 1/8 of a cup diced ham and an 1/8 of a cup (or less) shredded cheese into the bottom of each baking cup, you are aiming for about 1/4 cup total ham and cheese.  You may want a little more or a little less of the ham and cheese,  depends on how meaty or cheesy you like your eggs. :)  After you have the amount of ham and cheese in the baking cups, pour the egg mixture over the top, just enough to almost fill the cup.  You don't want it to over flow while baking and make a mess to have to clean up later. ;-)  

After you have filled each of the 9 baking cups, place the cookie sheet w/baking cups into the oven.  Bake at 350 degrees for about 15 - 20 minutes (until there is no more liquid in the baking cups).  Remove from oven when fully cooked and let sit for about 2 minutes before serving.

ENJOY! =D
