Breakfast Cups of the Champions

I haven't made anything new for breakfast in a while so I thought I'd try making these cups I found from Land O Lakes. They looked SO cute on the website but didn't turn out as great as I'd hoped. Basically my bread kind of fell apart as I was stuffing them into the muffin pan so they didn't really hold the "cup" shape coming out of the oven. They still tasted yummy though! I mean, you can't really go wrong with bread, eggs, ham and cheese right? :)

Ingredients: (6 muffins)

6 slices sandwich bread (the thicker the better)
2 Tbsp butter, melted
1 c Cheddar cheese, shredded
1 slice American cheese
2 Tbsp water
4 eggs
1 Tbsp butter
2 oz sliced deli ham, chopped
Dash pepper, if desired

Prep:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Flatten each bread slice with rolling pin. Make 1-inch lengthwise cut into each corner of bread slice with sharp knife. Lightly brush both sides of bread slices with melted butter. Gently press flattened bread slices into cups of ungreased 6-cup muffin pan, overlapping crust to form cup. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned.

2. Meanwhile, cut the cheese slice into 12 thin strips.

3. Beat water and eggs in large bowl with wire whisk until well mixed.

4. Melt 1 tablespoons butter in a small skillet. Pour eggs into skillet; sprinkle with ham. Cook over medium heat, gently lifting portions with spatula so uncooked portion flows underneath, until eggs are set (3 to 5 minutes). Sprinkle with shredded cheese pieces and pepper, if desired. Continue cooking, gently stirring, just until cheese is melted (1 minute).

5. Fill each toast cup with about 1/3 cup egg mixture. Place 2 strips cheese on each toast cup.
