Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Line a 12-cup muffin pan with silicone liners.

Add toppings to each cup: sprinkle shredded cheese, feta cheese, and cooked ham evenly among the cups.

Sprinkle a tiny amount of red pepper flakes, dried shallots, salt, and black pepper into each cup.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together 8 eggs and 1 and 1/4 cups cream until well combined.

Pour the egg mixture into each cup, filling them about three-quarters full, leaving space for expansion.

Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven.

Bake for 30 minutes, or until the egg muffins are set and lightly golden.

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
