Breakfast Fun: Oven Baked Eggs and Ham in Muffin Tins #breakfast

 

My son has been learning to cook. We find simple and fun things for him to make as he learns new skills. He seriously makes the BEST breakfast burritos I have ever eaten! He wanted to make something fun, so we decide to make Oven Baked Eggs in Ham in Muffin Tins.

This is simple and easy to do. We use a stainless-steel muffin tin with a quick swipe of oil to keep it from sticking to the bottom. We used ham lunch meat as the base creating a cup like shape to put the egg into. Make sure to get a somewhat thick cut ham like Applegate brand from Walmart. Thinner ham will burn up before the eggs are fully cooked.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Crack one egg per ham cup and season to your liking. Baked eggs will have a similar texture to a hardboiled egg. I recommend cooking them for about 10 to 12 minutes if you want your yolk a bit runny. Add or remove a minute to ensure the yolk is done to your liking. You will know the eggs are done when the whites are thick and set.

These eggs in ham would be a great way to make your own breakfast sandwiches too. Put it between two english muffins add some cheese and you have a hearty breakfast sandwich. 

We served ours with avocado slices and toast.

Easy Strawberry Cinnamon Bread #breakfast

Strawberries are still plentiful at the farmer's markets and grocery stores, so I am trying to take advantage of that before fall arrives. I think it is so crazy how summer is just flying by, and before we know it, the season will be over.

So meanwhile, I have made this quick and easy fruit bread. It's cheating a little bit because this recipe calls for a can of refrigerated cinnamon rolls as its base, but that is what makes it so easy to make.

The great thing about this strawberry cinnamon bread is that it's delicious for breakfast, brunch, or dessert, along with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.

I'm really finding that using coffee creamer to cook with is versatile and economical. I used my favorite flavor in this recipe, Sweet Italian Cream.

This recipe really only takes a few minutes to put together. You can also easily double it if you are serving it when you are entertaining.

Make sure the cinnamon rolls are completely covered by the egg and strawberry mixture. You can also make this with peaches or other kinds of berries.
