Tips:

This makes enough to fill each muffin section to the brim. They expanded more in the oven than I thought they would, so try to give them a little space to grow.

For the ham, I got one of those little ones from the grocery, cut off a thickish slice and diced it. It didn't take much, as the sections were already pretty full. I think it was easier to add it after ladling the egg mixture, as I imagine otherwise the ham would sink to the bottom of the mixing bowl, making it harder to distribute.

Description:

I'm making a cookbook for my workplace, the WALES Group. This involves collecting signature recipes from various members, this being one of them.

I've been intermittent fasting lately, which means I haven't been eating breakfast. Recently I heard that some of my medication should be taken with protein, so I'm playing with morning foods again. When I saw this recipe, I thought it would be a quick, clean protein hit that I could make quickly and in bulk to be available throughout the week. So far I've only tried it once, but it seemed to do its job.

She added the ground meat. The original recipe didn't give a temperature to set the oven to, but we did 350 since it seemed standard. It also said to bake it in tinfoil for 1/2 an hour and then put it back in, but it didn't say for how long while uncovered. I thought maybe an equivalent time, but it was done earlier. The link is a video by someone with ADHD, so the inconsistency makes sense. The simpli...
