Ingredients

• ⅓ cup milk
• cooking spray
• ¼ cup shredded Cheddar cheese, or to taste
• 1 (8.5 ounce) package dry corn muffin mix (such as Jiffy®)
• 5 eggs, divided
• ¼ cup diced ham, or to taste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease an 8x10-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Step 2

Stir corn muffin mix, 1 egg, and milk together in a bowl; batter will be slightly lumpy. Pour into the prepared baking dish, creating a 1-inch layer.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until corn bread has risen slightly, about 10 minutes.

Step 4

Make 4 indentations in the corn bread using the bottom of a small ladle; fill with ham. Crack 1 egg into each indentation. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese over eggs.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until corn bread starts to brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
