lil carb Egg Cup Trio! Meal Prep & Brunch Approved

This recipe I have for you today is very versatile. I made these for a brunch I hosted at my house for my mom for Mother Day! They also work well as meal prep for a quick make ahead breakfast or snack. And if you're like me you make em and eat em! I have customized 3 flavors today but really use whatever you like and have on hand. I absolutely love meal prepping but if you don't then you will like this recipe because it is super quick and makes a bunch of lil egg cups.

*Pan I used was 24 cups, 2 inches around and 1 inch deep.

lil carb Egg Cup Trio- Makes 24 cups- 8 of each flavor

Eggs:
8 eggs
2 Tbsp half and half
Salt and Pepper to taste

Broccoli Cheddar Egg Cups:
8 tsp finely chopped broccoli (about 3 small florets)
1/2 slice Cheddar Cheese or about 8 tsp of shredded cheddar

Ham and Cheese Egg Cups:
2 thin slices deli ham of your choice, chopped
1/2 Slice American Cheese

Mushroom and Swiss Egg Cups:
8 tsp finely chopped mushroom (about 2 mushrooms)
1/2 slice Swiss Cheese

Assembling:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
To start off whisk your eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper and the half and half.
Set aside.

Spray your pan liberally with cooking spray.

8 Broccoli cups- add in 1 tsp of finely chopped broccoli to each muffin cup.
8 Ham and Cheese cups- add in 1 tsp of finely chopped deli ham to each muffin cup.
8 Mushroom cups- add in 1 tsp of finely chopped mushroom to each cup.

Next, pour the egg mixture into each cup, filling each one almost to the top.
Top each cup with the appropriate cheese.
Bake for 9 minutes.
They will puff up so when you take them out let them sit for a minute or so and then remove them to a serving tray and enjoy right away or let them cool and then pack them up in some tuber ware and store in the fridge. To reheat simply microwave for about 1-2 minutes until they are warmed through.
ENJOY!
