– 6 large eggs

Instructions
Making Ham, Egg, and Cheese Brunch Cups is straightforward with these easy steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Muffin Tin: Grease a standard muffin tin to ensure easy removal of the cups later.
3. Roll Out Pie Crusts: Unroll the refrigerated pie crusts on a lightly floured surface and use a round cutter to cut out circles that fit into the muffin tin.
4. Fit Crusts into Muffin Cups: Place each pie crust round into the greased muffin cups, pressing gently down to form a cup shape.
5. Mix the Filling: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined. Stir in the diced ham, cheese, and any additional optional ingredients like chives or bell peppers.
6. Fill Each Cup: Pour the egg mixture into each crust, filling just below the top.
7. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the egg is fully set and the crust is golden brown.
8. Cool: Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before carefully removing the cups from the muffin tin.
9. Serve: Once slightly cooled, these cups are ready to be served warm to your guests.
By following these steps, you’ll have the incredible Ham, Egg, and Cheese Brunch Cups ready for your Easter brunch!
