Ingredients
Gather Ingredients from the list below
4 slices, cut lengthwise Anytime Favorites Hickory Smoked Boneless Sliced Quarter Ham
 
8 tsps. Pesto
 
4 Large Eggs
Directions
1.
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
2.
Lightly grease a muffin tin to prevent sticking.
3.
Line each muffin mold with a slice of Ham, shaping it into a cup.
4.
Crack an egg into each ham cup. For runny yolks, use the full yolk and just over half of the egg white. For fully cooked yolks, use the entire egg.
5.
Spoon 1 teaspoon of pesto into each cup, placing it over the egg white.
6.
Bake for 7–8 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are still runny. Bake longer if you prefer firmer yolks.
7.
Remove from the oven and top each cup with an additional teaspoon of pesto before serving. Enjoy!
