Green Eggs and Ham Cups

Green Eggs and Ham Cups

Ingredients

• 3 eggs
• 1 tablespoon all purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 cup cottage cheese
• 2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar
• 1⁄8 teaspoon hot pepper sauce, or to taste
• 1 cup spinach leaves, loosely packed
• 8 thin slices ham

Cooking Instructions: 

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease 8 cups of a muffin tin or eight 4- ounce ramekins.
2. Combine the eggs, flour, butter, cottage cheese, Cheddar, and hot sauce in a food processor or blender. 
3. Process until well blended. Add the spinach and pulse briefly. Do not overprocess; green flecks should be visible.
4. Line the muffin tins with the ham slices, pressing down with your fingertips. 
5. Pour equal amounts of the egg mixture, a scant 1⁄3 cup, into each tin.
6. Bake for 25 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Do not overcook.
