3 Yummy Muffin Tin Mini Meals

Did you know that muffin tins serve more of a purpose than just for baking cupcakes and muffins? You can make perfectly proportioned mini meals in a jiffy using this common kitchen dish. These are also fun to use when you have smaller children as they make the perfect proportions for them as well!

Here are 3 of my favorite muffin tin meals using a 6 cup muffin tin:

Ham & Egg Cups

Directions

1. Grease muffin tin.
2. Place one piece of ham in each tin.
3. Crack one egg into each ham slice.
4. Sprinkle salt/pepper to taste.
5. Bake at 350 degrees until eggs are cooked to your liking. (I like mine all the way baked so it usually takes 15 minutes)
