It is officially Easter Brunch Week! For the next week I am teaming with a troop of blogger friends to share our best brunch recipes to inspire your Easter menu! We are working with an awesome team of sponsors, and I can’t wait to share a load of tasty recipes with all of you.

Today, I am working with Rhodes Bake-N-Serv® to bring you my Monte Cristo Cups! Rhodes Bake-N-Serv® is a family business dedicated to producing home-baked quality frozen bread and roll dough, frozen sweet rolls and partially baked frozen rolls. I am using Rhodes Cinnamon Rolls for the base, followed by a little ham, Gruyere cheese, and an egg with a nice runny yolk. Typically, a Monte Cristo is a sandwich, but why not switch things up, add an egg, and make delicious little breakfast cups!

These cups are a breeze to put together, and the flavors are delicious! The cinnamon roll adds a little sweetness, and works perfectly with the savory ham, cheese, and egg. I made a batch of these and my kiddos love the savory and sweet combo- perfect when you just can't decide!

    Combination of Sweet & Salt is just amazing. We love them in our popcorns too. I am wanting to try this combo of gruyere cheese along with cinnamon rolls.
