Instructions
Mediterranean Egg Cups
- Preheat oven to 350ºF and spray a 12-cup, nonstick muffin tin with cooking spray.
- Next, finely dice sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, basil, and yellow onion. Then spread out among the 12 cups. Add about 1 teaspoon of feta cheese crumbles to each cup.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs and milk. Then, pour egg mixture evenly on top of veggies in order to fill each cup around 3/4 of the way full. Use a fork or knife to mix in order to make sure the veggies are evenly distributed within the egg.
- Season the top of each egg cup with salt and pepper, to taste, and then bake at 350ºF for around 18-22 minutes.
Turkey Fajita Egg Cups
- Preheat oven to 350ºF and spray a 12-cup, nonstick muffin tin with cooking spray.
- Add 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil to a nonstick skillet and heat over medium/high heat. Add ground turkey and spices and saute until turkey is fully cooked.
- Transfer browned meat into muffin cups. Then prep vegetables by finely dicing green pepper, red pepper, and onion. Evenly spread out among muffin cups.

Bacon Baked Eggs
- Preheat oven to 400ºF and spray a 12-cup, nonstick muffin tin with cooking spray. Set aside.
- Next, use one piece of bacon per muffin to create a basket of sorts for the egg. Place the bacon on the inside of each muffin so that it covers the sides completely. Then, use a pair scissors to cut the remaining bacon. Use this excess piece of bacon for the bottom of your basket. Repeat with all pieces of bacon.
- Place bacon in the oven at 400ºF for around 7 minutes. Remove before they start to get crispy.
- Crack 1 egg inside of each bacon basket. Make sure that you use large eggs as anything bigger will be too much egg to hold in the muffins.
- Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes depending on how runny you like your eggs.
- Finally, season with pepper and enjoy!
