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

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Lightly grease a standard 12-cup 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 12 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 brown.
  6. Let the egg cups cool in the tin for a few minutes before carefully removing them.

Notes

  • For meal prep, cool the egg cups completely. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • To freeze, place cooled egg cups in a freezer-safe bag or container. They keep well for up to 1 month.
  • Reheat frozen cups in the microwave for 60 to 90 seconds, or until heated through.
