Chef’s Tips

  • Avoid Overflow: Don’t overfill the biscuit cups to prevent spills while baking.
  • Grease Well: Spray the muffin tin generously to ensure easy removal.
  • Customize It: Add your favorite mix-ins like cheese, spinach, or mushrooms for added flavor.

Ingredients

  • 6 Jumbo Biscuits: Refrigerated “flakey layers” work best.
  • 6 Eggs: One for each bowl.
  • ¼ cup Diced Ham: Pre-cooked and ready to use.

Optional Add-Ins

  • Shredded cheese (cheddar, gouda, or Swiss)
  • Cooked bacon or sausage crumbles
  • Diced vegetables (bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach)
  • A dollop of country gravy for an indulgent touch

Substitutions

  • Biscuits: Use homemade biscuit dough or crescent roll dough for variety.
  • Ham: Substitute with cooked bacon, turkey, or plant-based alternatives.
  • Eggs: Use egg whites or a plant-based egg substitute for dietary preferences.

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare
    Preheat your oven to 350°F. Spray a muffin tin generously with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Form the Biscuit Bowls
    Flatten each biscuit in your hands and press it into the muffin tin cavity, pushing it down and up the sides until it reaches the rim, forming a bowl shape.
  3. Fill the Bowls
    Crack an egg into each biscuit bowl. Divide the diced ham evenly among the bowls, sprinkling it over the eggs.
  4. Bake
    Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20–22 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked through and set to your liking.
  5. Serve
    Use a fork to gently lift the biscuit bowls out of the muffin tin. Serve warm and enjoy!

Storage and Reheating

  • Storage: Let the biscuit bowls cool completely, then store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Use parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking.
  • Reheating: Microwave the biscuit bowls on a microwave-safe plate for 30 seconds, adding an additional 15–20 seconds if needed.

Tips for Success

  • Make-Ahead: Prepare the dough and mix-ins the night before to save time in the morning.
  • Check the Eggs: For runnier yolks, reduce baking time by 2–3 minutes.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh ham and high-quality eggs make a noticeable difference.

FAQs

Can I freeze these for later?

Yes! Freeze cooked biscuit bowls in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag. Reheat in the oven at 325°F for 10–12 minutes.

What if I don’t like ham?

No problem! Try sausage, turkey, or even a vegetarian option like sautéed mushrooms or spinach.

What kind of biscuits should I use?

Refrigerated “flakey layers” biscuits work best for forming the bowl shape, but other types can also work with slight adjustments.
