My mother used to make these all the time for my family, so I'm just carrying on the tradition. They're quick to put together, and while they're in the oven I go get ready for the day. My children loved them, even when they were toddlers. —Lisa Walder, Urbana, Illinois

Do you think you could use sliced bacon in this recipe?

Quick and easy! Nice to pop in the oven with something else and forget about breakfast for 20 minutes. I used ham and it was yummy, the exposed edges did get crispy but not enough to matter. This recipe would be awesome for overnight company too, cuz it's hard to make eggs for alot of people and get them ready at the same time!

I like the idea of this recipe, it was quick fast and easy. I used this recipe with turkey instead of roast beef and it came out very good.

I put my own twist on this recipe today and it turned out great!My family likes scrambled eggs. Thus, I scrambled 6 eggs, salt, pepper, little milk, and one large tablespoon of cottage cheese. This lightens up the heaviness of the eggs (lower fat).I also used thinly sliced ham and processes cheese slices.One suggestion: I noted that the sliced ham edges burned. Next time I will cover with foil for the first half of baking time and then uncover to allow for crisping.I would definitely make this recipe again!

I never thought of putting eggs to this use before! Instead of using sliced roast beef, I used sliced ham instead. Tastes just as good! I also added a sprinkle of cheese on top- delicious! This makes a cute and simple breakfast or even a light supper! For a variation, try whisking the egg, some cheese, salt and pepper and pour into "meat cup".

The recipe calls for 12 eggs yet you only use 6 for 6 servings!!!

This was very good. I baked them at 350 degrees for 20 minutes and they came out fine. Just be sure the ham or whatever you choose to put on the bottom extends above the rim of the muffin tin as it is a bit difficult to remove them if you don't do that (as I found out). Next time I will put some grated Parmesan cheese on top.

I used deli sliced turkey instead of the beef. I put it in the oven when the temperature was at 135 degrees because I was hungry and wanted to get it going!! It turned out perfect. I cooked mine for 25 minutes. I will make this again!

I had to try this recipe as soon as I read it...We tried one scrambled and the other as suggested. I slightly preferred the scrambled, my husband liked both. Can't wait until company comes again so we can serve them!What a cute idea for Easter Breakfast too!

I use custard cups. Just spray on the Pam, then place a sliced ham in the bottom, and place a slice of cheese on the ham. crack the egg, and place it on the cheese. When the eggs are cooked, serve in the custard cups.

These went over very well in our family... I used honey ham which was perhaps a bit too sweet - next time I will use a smokier ham. They were so easy to make and turned out perfectly. Thanks for the great idea!!!

i used this recipe for a Sunday morning meeting of my Dispatch Center and would never do so again. the eggs looked great but were hard cooked with an almost plastic like film over the top that could be peeled off. they looked as lovely as your picture but were almost un-edible - if i had time and money to waste i would experiment but i think 20-25 minutes was too long and the temp too high perhaps for eggs.

What a great base idea for so many variations. I took sliced turkey, roast beef and ham, mixed and matched different variations using whole eggs or scrambled and variations of cheese as well. I ended up with 12 different cups in one tray. I even varied the spices I put on top of them. I did this for Mothers Day for my wife, sister-in-law and Brother in law. The favorite variation was the Roast beef - Blue Cheese, whole egg and italian seasoning.

I was listening to the radio the other day and the DJ was talking about a breakfast sandwich, it is the same except you line the muffin tin with ham then the egg then bake, top with cheese last few minutes then empty them out on to a english muffin for a breakfast sandwich. I have not tried it but sounds good and easy.
