Wake up to something delightful with these Savory Breakfast Egg Cups! Packed with flavor and protein, they’re the perfect grab-and-go breakfast for busy mornings. Easy to prepare, these little gems are sure to become a family favorite.
Eggs: The star of the show, providing a fluffy and rich base loaded with protein. Milk: Helps to create a creamy texture and lighten the eggs. Salt and Black Pepper: Simple seasonings that enhance all the other flavors. Cheddar Cheese: Adds a sharp, savory note and gooeyness when melted. Bell Pepper: Offers a sweet crunch and vibrant color. Green Onions: Provide a mild onion flavor and freshness. Ham: A classic breakfast protein that adds a meaty, smoky taste. Butter: Keeps the egg cups from sticking to the muffin tin, ensuring easy removal.
Pair these savory egg cups with a fresh fruit salad or a slice of whole-grain toast for a balanced breakfast. If you’re hosting brunch, serve alongside crispy bacon or sausage links for a hearty spread.
First things first, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). While the oven warms up, take a muffin tin and generously grease each cup with butter. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze.
Next, in a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper. Keep whisking until everything is well combined. You’re aiming for a smooth, uniform mixture here.
Once the base is ready, gently fold in the cheddar cheese, bell peppers, green onions, and diced ham. Stir until all the ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the egg mixture.
Now, pour the egg mixture into your prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full. It’s important not to overfill, as the egg expands as it cooks. Place the tin in your preheated oven and let it bake for 20-25 minutes. You’ll know they’re done when the tops are set and a lovely golden brown.
Once baked, give them a few minutes to cool slightly. This not only makes them easier to handle but also lets the flavors settle. Run a butter knife around the edges if needed, and gently lift the egg cups out. Serve them warm for the best experience.
