Fajitas for Breakfast!
Oh girllll are you in for a special treat. Whether you’re prepping for back to school, work, or just everyday livin’, muffin tin eggs really do make life easier! We love egg cups here at Fit Foodie Finds and often make a double batch for breakfast and/or snacks. We’ve got 3 of us to feed + Mark, so we go through a lot of eggs! Egg muffins are a great way to pack in not only the protein but the veggies too! This recipe in particular hits all of those bases:
These Turkey Fajita Egg Cups are…
- High protein
- Low carb
- Veggie packed
- Lower in calories, but still super filling!
You can always make your egg cups a little more customized by adding your favorite veggies or maybe even switching up the ground turkey for ground chicken, beef, or a vegetarian meat option! Or dip them in plain Greek yogurt and salsa. Truly make these egg cups your own!
And always remember, these egg cups will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months in tightly sealed containers. Meal prep has never been easier!

I love turkey. I happened to come across this site, and these pictures made me salivate 🙂
Can you freeze these and for how long?
Made these with some manager special ground turkey I smagged at the store and they are DELISH! Fantastic for meal prep and we’ll see how well they hold up in the freezer!
Heck YES! I love a good deal! Let us know how freezing them goes!
How did the freezing go?
I loved this recipe! I definitely changed it up a bit – I sautéed onions and then added ground breakfast sausage. I added it to the egg cup and topped with egg and cheese! They turned out perfect! I recommend cooking it for the lower recommended time.
They certainly take longer than 10 mins to prepare but they are so worth it. Absolutely delicious and really filling
