These egg cups couldn’t be easier. We absolutely love them. They’re completely customizable, which is my kind of recipe! When I make these I usually just chop up various vegetables I have in the fridge and use those. Today I’m using kale, sweet peppers & zucchini. Also not pictured was some green onions I added at the last minute. Chop up your vegetables so they’re pretty small. They need to all fit in the muffin cups.
Crack a dozen eggs into a measuring cup. I recommend using something with a spout for easier pouring. Season the egg mixture with salt, pepper & garlic powder.
I’m using a silicone muffin baking pan but you can certainly use a regular metal muffin tin. Make sure you spray it with non stick spray before adding your ingredients to the pan! I lightly sprayed my silicon muffin pan just for good measure. Oh and don’t make the same mistake I did. Since your silicon pan is flimsy you’ll want to place it on a baking sheet before you start filling. I forget to do this every time I use it. You’d think I’d learn by know but nope! It happens EVERY TIME!
Add your veggies to each cup. Don’t worry if they’re over flowing.
Gently pour the egg into each cup. I put about 1 eggs worth of in each one.
About this much!
Now bake for 25-30 minutes or until the eggs are set. Let them cool before removing them from the pan. Don’t skip this step. This ensures your eggs are fully set and you don’t risk them falling apart.
These are so delicious! They keep in the fridge in an air tight container for about a week. Heat them up for 30 seconds in the microwave each morning.
I also like to make a couple batches at a time and freeze them.
They’re great to toss in your husbands lunch pail for a quick breakfast.
Eating just two would be the perfect breakfast. Also I have to admit I could eat about six. They’re so delicious!
What are you waiting for. They couldn’t get any easier! Go make these today!
