We will be honest, in some ways we use our own blog as a cookbook for ourselves. It’s a great resource when we are out grocery shopping without an exact plan for meals for the week.
We have been making egg cups for quite some time now since they are a perfect breakfast item on the Advocare Ten Day Cleanse. So really these are the easiest recipes ever for a healthy protein packed breakfast with the least amount of clean up possible especially now that we’ve found the perfect cooking utensil when making egg cups. We can’t rave enough about how easy they are and we pretty much promise you can’t mess them up.
Here is a general formula to use and then we gave some examples about what we use the most.
– 12 eggs (use all 12 whole eggs or any combination of whole eggs and egg whites with the 12)
– A veggie or two
– A meat if you want
How too: Crack eggs in a large bowl, dice veggies pretty small, cook or brown any meat that you are going to use. Mix all ingredients together. Bake your cups at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until the eggs are no longer runny.
No measuring necessary. No need to worry about a long drawn out recipe. Just add what you want in the 12 egg mixture and you are good to go.
Are you ready for our secret to the least amount of annoying clean up?
If you are like us you probably have bake ware that is horrible with eggs and everything gets stuck and you have to soak the pan forever and half the time the eggs are still stuck on there, we hate that! In comes silicon baking cups to the rescue!
silicon baking cups from Amazon
The eggs do not stick, you don’t have to use any non-stick sprays or oil, and they are super easy to clean, plus they are only like $5-6 on Amazon. We have seen them for $12-14, but DO NOT PAY THAT. And the egg cups keep in the refrigerator all week and heat up what amount we want each morning for breakfast.
Sometimes it’s easy to get stuck in a rut, so if you have found yourself in one we have put together some of favorite egg cup recipes:
Spinach/tomato
12 eggs
Handful of spinach
1 Diced tomato
½ Diced red onion
6oz chopped up bacon
Southwest style
12 eggs
1 Diced tomatoes
Ground beef with taco seasoning (about a cup)
1 Bell pepper
½ Red onion
Denver omelet style
12 eggs
Cup of chopped ham
1 green bell pepper
½ onion
There you have it! Go forth and make all of the egg cups! Another bonus to owning the silicon baking cups is that when your kids are old enough for you to make lunches for them to take to school if you use the bento box method they are great in there as well!
