Ham and Cheese Breakfast Puffs
"Nice for a Sunday breakfast or brunch. Can be prepared several hours in advance, but baked when ready to serve. They will sink slightly when you remove them from the oven."

Not just for breakfast - I served this for lunch with a side salad & a crusty roll! I followed the recipe verbatim - it was quick, easy & qite tasty. Thanx Annelies! -
Lovely Brunch. These are amazing they really puff up. Time is right on-25 minutes I used very thin slices of ham - make sure the ham is not sticking up above the egg mixture or the edges will burn. I added 1/4 tsp splenda to take away any sharpness of the yogurt. Fat free yofurt works! This is a do agaon recipe -
Very good baked egg dish, but for our taste it needed some heat so I added in 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper, I also added in pinch of baking powder for fluffier texture, I see no reason why this could not be baked all in one dish so that is what I did and it worked out well, thanks Pets!

This was GREAT! Wish higher than 5 stars could I rate! Used cooking spray instead of butter too, Used lot fat cheese and low fat vanilla yoghurt for extra taste, TRUE! DEFINATELY make this again! Thanks!

These flat out rocked. Great flavor, moisture and texture. Using the ham like shells worked great.

This was so easy and looked so impressive. I followed another reviewers recommendation and added a 1/2 tsp of baking powder and sprinkled the top with cayenne pepper prior to baking. The only ham I had was left over ham steak so cut into pieces and placed on the bottem prior to pouring in the egg mixture. It baked up lovely and the taste was awesome. I can see using bacon in place of ham sometimes to change up the taste a little. I also took a photo in the ramakin AND turned it out to see what it would be like on a plate, liked it both ways but think I'd leave in the serving dish next time just for one less dish to worry about. Made for Pets R Us cookathon. -

I am in the process of putting together a cookbook for 1 or 2 and these will go in it. I used egg substitute instead of the eggs. The yogurt allows the eggs to be light and fluffy. Instead of the cheddar cheese, I used mozzarella along with some fresh snipped chives. I used deli sliced ham and found that by cutting the slice in half and then 2 slits at a diagonal, I was able to line the cups nicely. Thanks for posting.

Hello, my name is Bonnie and I am a very beautiful cat as you can see if you look at the picture at the top of this page.... What??.. I am supposed to talk about you??? But it says here: About Me!! Well all right then ......
My mom is Dutch and has moved to England in October 2007, after living 15 years in the Netherlands with my English dad. They don’t have any human children and “created” their own family, which means I have to share them with Hannah, she is a 6 years old tortie cat, Abby the dog, she is a 9 year old Beagle, and a one year old black Miniature Pincher named Poppy, I refuse to tell you my age but I am a georgious lilac British Shorthair cat!!
It is obvious she adores pets just by looking at her name she uses on Zaar (many on Zaar call her Pets or Petsie Poo), her name in real life is Annelies and that is a common Dutch name.
My mom always liked to cook, but since she joined Zaar it got out of control, and it doesn’t help that she is disorganized. Printed recipes everywhere in the house, the recipe binders have got bigger and just between you and me, her hips too!!!
I have lived in Holland all of my life until now, but they lived in several different countries/places:- desert and coastal Oman, up North and West in Holland, Vancouver-Canada, Aberdeen- Scotland and in Norway they lived in Bergen and Oslo. We have all moved together to England, as you can see I’ve already learnt the language!
I heard her say to Dad that this is the last time she moved to another country...she's had it with moving from one place to another! ( its her age...she's getting grumpy)
Mom is 55 years old but I always hear her say that the date of her birthday does not mean that much to her, the date of her cancer anniversary is more important, because so far she is a survivor.
Besides cooking she has other interests too, crafts, gardening and soap making.
She likes Zaar and is one of the hosts on the German-Benelux Forum here on RecipeZaar.
She would like to thank everybody who tries and comments on the recipes she has posted on Recipezaar, your feedback is very much appreciated.
