  • 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.

  • 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.
  • 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 sprinkle on cheese.

Bacon Wrapped 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!

Place into a snall bowl and season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Then, spread evenly among the 12 cups.
  • Chop 12 fully-cooked breakfast sausage links and then add to the top of shredded potatoes.
  • 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.
