Notes
Very thin ham slices will probably not work too well because they may not hold up. If your ham is very thin you may want to double up on the ham slices.
As you can see in the photo the ham doesn't stay spread out very well so I crack the egg into a small bowl so I can use one hand to hold the ham open and the other to pour the egg out of the bowl. The egg expands when it cooks and you are left with perfect little egg cups.
It may take a time or two making these to figure out exactly how long to bake them. I bake mine for 15 minutes and end up with partially runny egg yolks (see picture), bake yours until the white is set and the egg yolk is just how you like it.
