Bacon Broccoli Egg Cups
Fact: I am a morning person.
I like to get up and get my workout in before the rest of the world has even groggily opened an eyeball. I like to drink my coffee watching the sun come up and before my daughter has woken up. I even get up extra early on some mornings to get work done before my husband hits the shower.
And while morning is my golden time…even I enjoy a quick make-ahead breakfast to simplify the start to a busy day!
And these 5-Ingredient Bacon Broccoli Egg Cups are what my family and I are currently loving on.
Why these Bacon Broccoli Egg Cups are so great!
- 5 ingredients! In case you missed it in the title, there are a few things needed to make these egg cups yours!
- Veggie-loaded. Veggies don’t always get worked into breakfast, but these bacon broccoli egg cups make a green veggie oh-so welcome first thing in the morning.
- Full of protein to fuel you and your crew on until lunch
- Easy to make
- Great as part of meal prep. They are delicious fresh from the oven but also easily store in the fridge and reheat like a dream if you opt to make then ahead of time.
- Portioned out. I love baking things in a muffin tin because everything is perfectly portioned for me. No cutting a slice, just grab and go. Plus, easier to store!
Suggested Adaptions
- Not a broccoli fan? Make these with spinach, kale or pretty much any veggie you do love!
- Make them vegetarian. Skip the meat and make these beauties vegetarian! Add a little salt and garlic powder to keep the flavors on point!
- Bake them in a pie pan for a frittata. Bake at the same temp for about 30 minutes or until the eggs are set in the middle.
