Paleo Muffin Tin Baked Eggs in Ham

Paleo Muffin Tin Baked Eggs in Ham

This is one of my favorite new recipes because it’s easy, it’s delicious and it’s perfectly portioned.  I make them over the weekend and store the leftovers in the refrigerator. I give them a quick reheat and  enjoy the egg cups for the next couple of days.  For less than 300 calories, the nearly 20 grams high-quality protein and fat really work together to keep you satisfied for hours.

Ingredients

• 8 slices of lean Canadian bacon
• 8 eggs
• 1/2 cup chopped scallions
• Pepper to taste

Directions

Lightly coat eight muffin tins with olive oil. Place 1 slice ham into each muffin tins (fold into fours to make the ham ruffle.) Crack one egg into each cup; and sprinkle each egg with pepper.

Bake in a 375-degree preheated oven for 12-15 minutes till the white looks set but the egg is set and yolk is still slightly runny.  Top with chopped scallions and serve.
