#EasterWeek ~ Egg Cupcakes

Welcome to day 4 of #EasterWeek hosted by Bernadette from Rants From My Crazy Kitchen. This week we are celebrating Easter and Bernadette’s blogging anniversary with all kinds of delicious recipes and a giveaway! From appetizers to ham recipes, we have everything you need for a great Easter dinner or brunch, and one lucky winner will receive a $200 Amazon gift card. 

Today's recipe has quickly become a family favorite. These are so simple, and the mix and match options are endless! This recipe is a wonderful use for that leftover Easter ham, or would be the perfect addition to any Easter brunch table! We made several batches with the ham meat from the recipes I've shared the past couple days (Apricot and Honey Ham, and Sweet Pineapple Glazed Ham). You can easily mix and match the cheese, meats, veggies, etc. Make a taco version if you have leftover taco meat, bacon, cheddar, and tomato (as the version pictured is), ham, pineapple, and mozzarella (really delicious), a pizza version with pepperoni, mushroom, mozzarella, etc.

My son loves starting his school days with a couple of these popped in the microwave to reheat. I bake a batch almost once a week for him lately. Thank goodness I have pretty much an unlimited supply of gorgeous farm fresh duck and chicken eggs from a relative who lives nearby - they get a lot of use in my house!
