4. Sprinkle cheese, chopped parsley and dried herbs of your choice.
5. Bake at 375 F for 12-15 minutes or until egg whites are set and no longer jiggly.

Sure. If you don’t like over-easy eggs, feel free to whisk the eggs in a 4-cup measuring cup or a mixing bowl. Add any other seasonings you like. Chop up your favorite combo of veggies and proteins and mix until combined. You can even do a combination of egg whites and eggs if you’re trying to cut down the macros.

Divide evenly among muffin cups (about 1/2 – 2/3 cups full) and sprinkle with any additional toppings.

HOW CAN I MAKE BACON EGG CUPS AHEAD OF TIME?

Scrambled eggs are definitely a great freezer-friendly breakfast option. However, since these Whole30 bacon eggs cups are made with over-easy eggs, it’s best to serve them on the same day.
