The Ultimate Guide To Making Egg Cups

The Ultimate Guide to Making Egg Cups is what you need so you never run out of breakfast, lunch, or dinner ideas. Because let's face it—eggs are the best!

Egg cups are here to stay as a trend in the healthy breakfast meal prep world. They have become super popular because they are simple to make and handy to take with you in the morning. You can enjoy them cold or reheat them for a few seconds in the microwave. You can make them savory, sweet, vegetarian, and/or gluten free. Anything you can put in a frittata or an omelet, you can put in an egg cup!  Oh, and did we mention they are inexpensive, even given the seemingly non-stop rise of grocery costs? 

So, how do you make egg cups? It's actually quite simple!

Step 1

Spray a muffin tin with non-stick spray or coat it with oil.

Step 2

Whisk together your eggs (and milk, if using).

Step 3

Mix in your favorite items

• bacon
• ham
• spinach
• sun-dried tomatoes
• berries
• broccoli
• kale
• peppers
• mushrooms

Step 4

Evenly divide the egg mixture among your muffin tins and bake in a preheated 375 degrees F oven for 18-25 minutes, depending on the size of your cups.

Now that you know the foundation of making egg cups, let's take a look at some insanely delicious ways you can make them. Creativity counts here, people!
