Frequently Asked Questions
Why make small cuts in the ham?
Four little cuts around each slice let the ham fold into a neat cup without tearing, so the corn and cheese filling stays put as it bakes.
Do I need the foil liners?
They help the ham hold its cup shape and make the bites easy to lift out. A well-greased non-stick muffin tin works too, but the ham edges may stick.
Can I add an egg?
Yes — crack a small egg into each cup before the cheese for a heartier breakfast bite, and add a couple of minutes to the bake so it sets.
