Breakfast Egg Cups

Breakfast Egg Cups are a quick, healthy, and customizable way to enjoy a hearty breakfast with minimal effort. These egg cups are baked in muffin tins, allowing you to easily make individual servings.

Equipment

  • - Muffin tin (12-cup)
  • - Mixing bowl
  • - Whisk or electric mixer
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Spatula

Ingredients
  

  • #### Base
  • - 8 large eggs
  • - 1/4 cup milk or a non-dairy milk of choice
  • - Salt and pepper to taste
  • #### Fillings optional, customize as desired
  • - 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon or sausage or skip for vegetarian
  • - 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
  • - 1/2 cup chopped spinach
  • - 1/4 cup shredded cheese cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite cheese
  • - 1/4 cup diced onions or mushrooms optional

Instructions
 

  • **Preheat the Oven**
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or line it with silicone muffin cups for easy removal.
  • **Prepare the Fillings**
  • If you're using meat, like bacon or sausage, cook it in a skillet until browned and crumbled. Dice your vegetables and prepare any additional fillings you want to add. You can sauté the veggies briefly to soften them, if desired.
  • **Mix the Eggs**
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
  • **Assemble the Egg Cups**
  • Divide the prepared fillings evenly into the muffin tin cups. Then, pour the egg mixture over the fillings, filling each cup about 3/4 full. Top with a sprinkle of cheese if desired.
  • **Bake**
  • Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the egg cups are set and the tops are slightly golden. You can check by inserting a toothpick — it should come out clean when the egg cups are done.
  • **Cool and Serve**
  • Let the egg cups cool for a few minutes in the tin, then use a spatula to remove them from the muffin tin. Serve warm and enjoy!
