Ingredients
  

Campfire egg cups base
  • 12 deli ham Use slices sized to fit a standard muffin tin cup.
  • 12 eggs Crack directly into the ham cups.
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese Top each cup so it melts into the center.
  • 0.25 cup bell peppers, finely diced Adds color and mild crunch.
  • 0.25 cup onions, finely diced Finely diced for even distribution.
  • 0.25 tsp salt To taste; season the tops before cooking.
  • 0.25 tsp pepper To taste; season the tops before cooking.
  • 1 cooking spray Grease the muffin tin so the cups release cleanly.

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan

Method
 

Assemble in the muffin tin
  1. Spray a metal muffin tin with cooking spray to lightly coat each cup so the ham releases cleanly.
  2. Line each cup with a slice of deli ham, pressing it into the sides to form a cup shape.
  3. Crack one egg into each ham cup so the eggs sit centered in the ham lining.
  4. Top with shredded cheddar cheese, bell peppers, and onions, then season with salt and pepper.
Bake over the campfire
  1. Place the muffin tin on a campfire grate over medium heat so the cups bake evenly.
  2. Cover with aluminum foil and cook for 18-20 minutes until the eggs are set and the tops turn golden.
  3. Carefully remove the egg cups and serve warm.

Notes

For easiest release, make sure the ham is pressed against the sides of each muffin cup and fully greased with spray. Refrigerate leftovers in a sealed container up to 3 days; reheat in a microwave until hot. Freezing isn’t recommended because eggs can become watery after thawing. For a lower-carb swap, use a reduced-sodium cheddar and skip the onion and bell peppers or reduce them by half.
