Description

Bake portable, omelet-style egg cups perfect for meal prepping breakfasts for the week.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk or unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup chopped cooked meat (ham, turkey, or bacon)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
  • 1/2 cup chopped vegetables (spinach, bell peppers, onions)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Lightly grease a 12-cup standard muffin tin.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Distribute the cooked meat, cheese, and chopped vegetables evenly among the prepared muffin cups.
  4. Pour the egg mixture over the fillings in each cup, filling them about three-quarters full.
  5. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and slightly golden.
  6. Let the egg cups cool in the tin for a few minutes before carefully removing them.

Notes

  • For freezing, cool the cooked egg cups completely. Place them in an airtight, freezer-safe container or bag. They keep well for up to one month.
  • To reheat from frozen, microwave one or two cups for 60 to 90 seconds, or until heated through.
  • You can substitute any cooked protein or vegetable combination you prefer for variety.
