Breakfast Egg Cups - 21 Day Fix Approved

Yesterday I made Egg Cups for the very first time! Why I waited this long when I have been making two eggs for breakfast every day for eight months...I have no idea! These things are so easy to make AND it means I can just grab and go in the mornings. Of course they are 21 Day Fix, CIZE, and Hammer & Chisel approved :) 



I saw a couple slight variations on how to make Egg Cups, so here is what I personally ended up doing. Keep in mind that you can use ANY vegetable combination that you want. These are just the ones I ended up using this time around, but I may switch it up each week. 
Ingredients:
  • 12 Eggs
  • 1 cup baby spinach, chopped
  • 1 cup mushrooms, chopped
  • 1/2 cup red onions, chopped
  • Cheddar cheese
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pepper
  • Garlic powder
Directions:
  • Heat oven to 375 degrees F
  • Lightly coat a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil spray
  • Whisk 12 eggs in a large bowl. Add a pinch of salt and pepper, and a little garlic powder.
  • Evenly poor the mixture into the muffin cups. 
    • Top each one with your desired veggies. This time I used spinach, mushrooms, and red onion, but you can use whatever you like and have on hand!
    • Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
      • I pulled them out at 10 minutes and topped each one with just a little cheddar cheese and put them back in for another 5 minutes. 

    *The picture above was the first time I made the egg cups. I decided to sauté the vegetables first and then add them to the egg mixture before pouring into the muffin tin. They came out great, but I have since tried the method of just putting the veggies on top without sautéing. The came out equally as delicious! So, I'm going the easier route from now on :) 

    Servings and Containers:
    1 Serving = 2 Egg Cups and count as: 
    • 1 Red
    • 1/2 Green
    • 1/4 Blue  - IF you add cheese..and honestly, I didn't even use 1/4 of a blue worth on it, but including it for you just in case.
    FYI - Other Egg Cup recipes state that two Egg cups count as 1 Green container instead of 1/2, but I personally didn't see 1 cup worth in my egg cups :) If you are trying to watch your containers carefully, you can count this as 1 Green if you prefer. 

    Let me know how you like them!
