Ham and Egg Cupcakes


Ok, I've told you that I love breakfast foods. I have another great and simple recipe for you!

A few months ago a sermon spoke to me. It addressed respecting God, and a simple way that we show respect to God -- by showing up for church on time. 

Ouch. It is true, but I have a long list of excuses to explain why our family has had trouble warming a pew before the opening worship song. A few of them are actually valid excuses too! But I decided that we were going to work harder to show our respect to God by showing up for worship on time (and other places too!). Seems like a simple thing to do . . . until Sunday morning hits!

I also had read a book that emphasizes the importance of a peaceful Sabbath. I realized that Sundays were not peaceful and relaxing for me. Often it became the day that I catch up from a busy week -- housework, laundry, lesson plans. But I wanted that to change also.

So, our family has gone through some changes this year when it comes to Sunday. And, after making some changes, I find that Sunday mornings are not rushed and stressful. They are very calm and relaxing, and we are not rushing through the church doors.

All of the changes were simple, and logical. They require a little planning on Saturday, but sooooo worth it!

One of the small changes is that I have breakfast ready to bake Saturday night. I look for simple recipes that don't require much of my attention Sunday morning so that my time and attention can be getting everyone dressed. Makes sense. 

This is one of those recipes that works for us. 5 ingredients. 30 minutes. Actually, I mix it all up the night before and keep it in a covered mixing bowl in the refrigerator until morning. Then, all I have to do is ladle the eggs into muffin pans while the oven is preheating. Soooooo easy! Pop these in the oven and then off to dress the little man and put on my make-up! Stress-free!

The great thing about this recipe is that I can see so many possibilities for different flavors. Anything you would throw in an omelet can be thrown in these egg cupcakes!
