Ham, Egg & Manchego Breakfast Muffins

In my family growing up we always had our big Christmas dinner celebration on Christmas Eve. This meant that Christmas day could be left stress-free to enjoy whatever Santa might have delivered as well as each others company without the insanity of running around preparing a huge meal afterward. Of course being that my family is a bunch of Virginians, you know this feast was sure to include a huge country ham which we would pick at for days.

A whole ham is still a tradition of mine for the holidays which means I’ve gotten to play with different ways to use the leftover ham. This recipe is a current favorite for Christmas morning. After the feast is over the night before I just cut up the ham I need for the morning and shred my cheese. Then it’s just the super quick assemble of these irresistible breakfast muffins and 15 minutes in the oven before they are ready to be devoured. Pretty much less time than it takes to open presents! Another fabulous thing about this breakfast “muffin” is that you can pretty much throw whatever you want in these awesome little crescent roll crusts. Why not go crazy and put leftover turkey, stuffing and a spoon full of gravy beneath that cracked egg? Or if your holiday protein of choice is a prime rib roast, cube that up and throw it in with some leftover mashed potatoes and blue cheese. The world is your breakfast muffin! Wait, is the saying “the world is your oyster”? Does that mean it should be, “The breakfast muffin is your oyster”? 😉 Regardless, these things are highly addictive so I suggest on making several batches if you have a crowd larger than 2. Just sayin.

Soooooo I might have gone a little photo crazy while making these. Just in case you had any questions as to the process, this string of photos should clear that right up. 😉
