Ham & Cheese Breakfast Cups!

So, I tried something new last night, and it turned out AMAZING!P1030831

We had had a full, late lunch after church, so I wanted to make something quick and light for dinner. I saw this idea somewhere online, so here’s my version of it: Ham & Cheese Breakfast Cups! It was a huge hit at the Houts home — delicious and fun!

What you need:

Slices of GF deli ham

8-10 eggs

2 TBS milk (or milk substitute)

shredded cheese

salt & pepper to taste

First, spray muffin cups with cooking spray. Then place 1 slice of ham in each cup (I like Hormel Natural Choice GF Smoked Deli Ham).

Next, with fork scramble eggs, milk, salt & pepper in small mixing bowl.

(I used 8 eggs for 10 muffin cups.)

P1030824  P1030826

Then carefully pour egg mixture into muffin cups.

P1030827

Sprinkle cheese on top.

Bake at 350 for about 20 minutes or until eggs are set

(not jiggly when you move pan).

Serve with GF toast and fresh fruit — ENJOY!

Carefully spoon egg mixture into muffin cups filling about halfway.  Then spoon a tablespoon or 2 sausage into each cup. (This recipe gave me 18 muffin cups.)

If you have leftovers, keep them in the fridge and warm up for a snack or quick lunch.

Sausage & Egg Wraps

I love this idea not only for breakfast but for a quick dinner (or lunch!).  On the weekends, this is a great brunch.  This was our dinner Tuesday night!  (See my page “GF Tips” for how to prepare corn tortillas so they taste great.  (And remember — I’m feeding gluten-free people and non-gluten-free people, thus the flour tortillas for the latter.)  I served fresh pineapple with this meal — YUM!

As eggs are cooking, prepare tortillas.

Take each corn tortilla and add some of the egg mixture (for GF eaters) then sprinkle cheese on top.  Do the same with each flour tortilla (for gluten-eaters).  Top with shredded cheese.
