Ingredients

15 sheets phyllo dough (14x9 inches)
3/4 cup butter, melted
4 ounces cream cheese, cut into 12 pieces
12 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup cubed fully cooked ham
1/2 cup shredded provolone cheese
2 tablespoons seasoned bread crumbs
2 tablespoons minced fresh chives

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°. Place one sheet of phyllo dough on a work surface; brush with butter. Layer with four additional phyllo sheets, brushing each layer. (Keep remaining phyllo covered with plastic wrap and a damp towel to keep it from drying out.) Cut layered sheets crosswise in half, then lengthwise in half. Cover stacks to keep them from drying; repeat with remaining phyllo and butter.
Place each stack in a greased muffin cup. Fill each with a piece of cream cheese. Carefully break an egg into each cup. Sprinkle with salt and pepper; top with ham, cheese, bread crumbs and chives. Bring phyllo together above filling; pinch to seal and form bundles.
Bake until golden brown, 15-18 minutes. Serve warm.
