If you are anything like me you love breakfast. I love waffles, Pancakes, Parfaits but most of all I love eggs, Benedict. What I do not love is spending a solid hour and a million dishes to make it and I also do not love that it's even more hassle and mess for a larger crowd. So in saying that my mom came up with this idea several Christmases ago and we have enjoyed it ever since.

What You Will Need

This will make enough for 8 people but just cut everything in half for 4.

For the Hollandaise Sauce

1 cup of salted butter

3 Tablespoons of Lemon Juice

9 egg yokes

Fresh Chives for garnish

For the Eggs

16 eggs

400gs. of 16 slices of Ham

oil or butter to the grease muffin tin

What To Do

1.Preheat oven to 350.

2.Grease the muffin tray and fold in the ham.

3. Crack eggs into a ham cup in a muffin tray.

4. Bake ham and egg cups in oven for approx. 20 min or to desired egg firmness

5. While eggs are baking whisk eggs and lemon juice in a bowl until they have roughly doubled in size.

6. Place the bowl on top of a pot of boiling water (creating a double boil)

7. Whisk egg yolk mixture in the bowl and slowly add butter. Be sure to whisk vigorously or. eggs will cook and scramble.

8. Continue to mix until sauce thickens then remove from heat.

9. Once eggs have finished cooking you can assembly your tasty breakfast.
