Ingredients
Directions
Preheat oven to 400ºF. Spray the wells of a muffin tin with Avocado Oil Spray.
Line each muffin tin cup with a slice of ham. Crack one egg on top of each slice of ham and sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
Bake until eggs are cooked to your liking, about 12–15 minutes. If you like a runny yolk, remove the tin after 12 minutes; if you prefer a set yolk, bake for 15 minutes.
Chop green onion, if using.
Garnish with chopped green onion and Primal Kitchen Buffalo Sauce. Enjoy!
Recipe Note
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days, and reheat in the microwave or in a low oven until warm. We don’t recommend freezing these, as the texture and consistency of the eggs can change when frozen and thawed.
