Number Of Ingredients 7

8 eggs
1/4 c milk
1/4 t salt
1/8 t. black pepper
3/4 c diced,cooked ham
1/2 c plus 2 t. shredded cheddar cheese
minced fresh chives for garnish

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk,salt & pepper. Equally divide ham and 1/2 cup of cheese between the muffin cups. Reserve the extra 2 tablespoons of cheese for later. Pour egg mixture on top of the cheese and ham, so that muffin cups are a little more than 1/2 full. (They will rise like a souffle as they bake, then deflate when you pull them out of the oven.) Bake for about 20 minutes until eggs are set, then remove from oven. Sprinkle remaining 2 tablespoons of cheese over the muffins, then bake for a few minutes longer until cheese is melted. Sprinkle with chives and serve warm, using a butter knife to remove the muffins from the cups.
