Ingredients

2 teaspoons butter, or as needed
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tomato, diced
½ cup diced cooked ham
½ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon dried parsley
9 eggs
¾ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons milk
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a large 6-cup muffin tin with butter.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add tomato, ham, onion powder, and parsley. Cook and stir until tomato is warmed through and juice has evaporated, about 5 minutes.
Whisk eggs, Cheddar cheese, and milk together in a large bowl with salt and pepper.
Divide the ham mixture among the 6 muffin cups. Cover with egg mixture until about 3/4 full. Place muffin tin in a larger baking pan filled with hot water.
Bake in the preheated oven until set, about 25 minutes. Cover with aluminum foil if tops start browning too much.

Cook's Notes:

These can also be made in six 8-ounce ramekins.

Water or cream can be substituted for the water.
