3-Ingredient Low-Carb Ham & Cheese Bakes
These easy ham and cheese bakes are cheesy, savory, and incredibly simple to make. With just 3 ingredients, they’re perfect for a quick low-carb breakfast, snack, or light meal.
Ingredients
- 6 slices deli ham
- 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese (about 150 g)
- 6 large eggs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 6-cup muffin tin.
- Press one slice of ham into each muffin cup, creating a small cup for the filling. If the slices are large, fold or trim them slightly to fit.
- Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese into each ham cup.
- Crack one egg into each cup.
- Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the egg whites are completely set and the cheese is melted and lightly golden. For firmer yolks, bake a few minutes longer.
- Let the ham and cheese bakes cool for 2–3 minutes before carefully removing them from the muffin tin.
- Serve warm.
Tips
- Use thinly sliced ham so it fits easily into the muffin cups.
- Swap cheddar for mozzarella, Swiss, or Monterey Jack.
- Add a little black pepper or your favorite herbs if desired.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat gently before serving.
