- ¼ cup chopped Green Onions
- ½ cup Shredded Cheese

Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it’s at the right temperature for baking the egg cups evenly.
- Prepare the ham cups: Place one slice of ham in each hole of a muffin tin, using the ham slice like a cupcake liner to hold the egg mixture.

- Store properly: Once cooled, store the ham egg cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week for convenient meal prep.
