Egg Cup Recipe Variations:
- Ham: Use different types of ham or other lunch meat like turkey or roast beef. We like to use uncured honey ham the best in this recipe.
- Cheese: I used cheddar cheese but other types of cheeses like pepper jack, Havarti, and Monterey jack are great options as well!
- Seasoning: I typically use salt and pepper but other herbs like chives, parsley, garlic powder and cilantro are great choices for adding flavor to these egg breakfast cups!
