Ingredients
Buddig ham
2 ounces (chopped (optional))
Sargento Monterey Pepper Jack cheese sticks
2 sticks (cut into pieces)
Grape tomatoes
8 (halved)
Egg Beaters egg substitute
6 tablespoons (none needed)

Instructions
1
Begin by spraying the inside of two small glass canning jars with butter spray to prevent sticking.
2
Evenly layer 1 ounce (or half the package) of chopped Buddig ham slices in the bottom of each jar. If there’s any liquid from the ham package, divide it between the jars for added flavor.
3
Next, evenly distribute the halved grape tomatoes into each jar over the ham layer.
4
Measure 3 tablespoons of Egg Beaters and pour it into each jar, ensuring it covers the tomatoes and ham.
5
Cut each Sargento Monterey Pepper Jack cheese stick into small pieces and distribute the pieces evenly into both jars.
6
Place both jars in the microwave. Start with 1 minute of cooking time. After 1 minute, gently shake the jars to check for doneness. If the eggs are not fully cooked, microwave for an additional minute, keeping a close watch to avoid overcooking.
7
Once cooked, carefully remove the jars from the microwave (they will be hot!). You can enjoy your breakfast directly from the jar or slide the contents onto a small plate for serving.
