If you struggle to find time to make a nourishing breakfast, then consider making these breakfast egg cups on Sunday and eating them throughout the week.

When it comes to your average daily breakfast, which statement best describes you?

1. I have plenty of time to make a good breakfast.
2. I eat something quick and easy, maybe packaged, but I crave something more wholesome and substantial.
3. I struggle just to get out the door – breakfast is an afterthought.

If you answered 2 or 3 , or if you fall somewhere in between, I have a delicious solution for you:

Make-Ahead, Customizable Egg Cups

These egg cups are fun to make and fun to eat. Here’s what you need to know:

• Choose scrambled or whole eggs: You can mix eggs with cream, salt, and pepper to make scrambled egg cups – or you can simply crack a egg and pour it into the muffin tin whole. Either way is fine.
• Make-ahead: Make a batch of 6 egg cups on Sunday night, and enjoy them for up to 5 days for breakfast. Keep them refrigerated in a covered container.’

What Ingredients Can I Add To These Egg Cups?

These are totally customizable! Feel free to use a different mix of meat, veggies, and cheese.

• Meat options: Ham, bacon, Canadian bacon, sausage, pepperoni
• Vegetables: Onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, roasted potatoes, roasted sweet potatoes, kale, spinach, zucchini, bell peppers, hot peppers.
• Cheese: Cheddar, pepper jack, Monterey, Mexican-blend, cream cheese

Best yet – scour your fridge and freezer for vegetables, cheese, and meats you already have on hand.

How To Reheat Egg Cups

Reheat the egg cups in the microwave (30 seconds, more if frozen) or toaster oven.

Or you can eat them cold.

Can You Freeze Egg Cups?

Yes! You can make a large batch of these and freeze them for future use.

Simply allow them to cool and store in a single layer in a freezer bag. Take out one at a time and reheat in the microwave for about 60 seconds.
