Ham and vegetable breakfast cups

Do you ever wish your little ones could eat vegetables without a fuss? I have found a new trick that gets my nieces and nephews to eat vegetables, and this is just a recipe. I use whatever vegetables I have in hand, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, the list is endless. The end result is always great and the children get to enjoy and get a nutritious meal.

Serves: 4

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Ready In: 25 minutes

Ingredients:

? 8 slices ham

? 4 eggs

? 1 onion, chopped

? 1 yellow pepper

? 50g cheddar cheese, grated

? Splash of milk

? Salt and pepper to taste

? Spring onion/parsley, chopped to garnish

Directions:

Pre-heat your oven to 3500.

Prepare a cup cake tray by brushing some oil in each cupcake holder.

In a shallow cooking pan, sauté the onions and pepper, add salt and pepper to taste. Cook until tender (the vegetable should not overcook)

Back to the cupcake holder, place a slice of ham into each holder to form the shape of a cup.

As the vegetables are cooking, beat the eggs with a splash of milk, add some salt and pepper to taste.

Remove the vegetables from the heat and spoon some into each ham ‘cup’, sprinkle a generous amount of cheese on top, then pour the egg mixture (it should soak into the ham cup)

Top with chopped spring onion/parsley then pop into the oven and let bake for about 20/25 minutes or until egg is cooked through.

Remove from the oven; serve hot with toast and tea/coffee
