Ham and Egg Bakes (recipe from Cookfulness, by Ian Taverner)

cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: American cheese

Reduced-fat cheese lowers calories while maintaining flavor.

ham

🥗Healthier: turkey ham

💰Cheaper: bacon

Turkey ham is leaner, while bacon is often cheaper.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

Almond milk is lower in calories, while water is a cost-saving option.

green onions

🥗Healthier: chives

💰Cheaper: regular onions

Chives provide a similar flavor, while regular onions are more economical.

Grease each hole of a muffin tin with a little olive oil, rubbing it around the sides to prevent sticking.

Take some decent quality ham and press it into the muffin tin holes to create little cups for the eggs.

If the ham tears, use another piece to plug the hole.

Break a free range egg into each ham cup you've created in the muffin tin.

Add a little cream to each egg in the muffin cups.

Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Bake in the oven until the eggs are set and the ham is cooked through.
