Egg Cups – Breakfast Ideas With Eggs
Rushing out the door in the morning doesn’t have to mean you eat a high carb and low protein snack. This healthy breakfast idea with eggs is perfectly portable and insanely delicious!
I am constantly searching for new ways to eat my eggs. Our free range chickens are starting to lay a lot more eggs now that it is warming up. This quick & healthy egg cup recipe is packed with protein. It can also be gluten free if you eat it with gluten-free toast. The cheese provides calcium and the hashbrowns make it filling.
They only take about 15 minutes in the oven to bake. Now if you are pressed for time in the mornings (hello fellow night-owls. I see you there) you can fry up the hashbrowns the night before and put them in the fridge. And don’t forget to add your favorite spice to the cup. If ya like it hot, drop a bit of Tabasco in. I actually adore garlic powder and sea salt in mine.

How Do You Cook Eggs In A Microwave?
Another time-saving idea is to make your eggs in the microwave. It’s simple! Just coat a cup with non-stick spray. Beat 2 eggs in the cup and microwave on high for 45 seconds. Stir the eggs once. Then microwave for another 45 seconds. That’s it! I love adding shredded cheese to my cup of eggs for more protein and flavor.
