These baked egg cups are the perfect meal prep for breakfasts if you're into that kind of thing. We honestly, ate most of our "meal prep" for these on the day we made them. Apparently we aren't all that great at actually rationing the meal prep to last the week. Either way, if you can resist eating all of your baked egg muffins in one day, then you can have them for the whole week. And these are SO good (hence why we ate them all in one day)!
Can you meal prep eggs?
Eggs are a complete protein. Basically they are the ultimate breakfast food and a great addition to other meals too. So why wouldn't you want to make them into portable, easy little muffin cups?
You can definitely meal prep eggs! Making them into delicious baked egg cups is such a quick, easy, and customizable meal prep idea. They are easily portable (eat in the car- yes thanks!), they are quick to grab and heat up, and they are actually healthy for you and perfect for a good breakfast.
How to make Sausage Egg Muffins
Making these little egg muffin cups is so easy. In a mixing bowl, beat your eggs and Greek yogurt together until smooth and creamy. Then add your green bell pepper, onions, spinach, and diced sausage and mix together well. In a muffin or cupcake tin, spray the insides of each cup really well with non stick cooking spray.
How do you make egg cups not stick?
If you have an older tin or you just really don't want to deal with sticking egg muffins, then use cupcake paper liners. Place them inside the cupcake tin like you would for cupcakes and then spray those with non stick spray instead. This will make sure your baked egg cups don't stick.
Bake these at 375 for 20 minutes. Let them cool and set when they are done before pulling them out of the tin. Once you get them out, you can keep them in the fridge for up to one week and you can just reheat in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Easy peasy! And so delicious.
