HOW TO MAKE BAKED EGG CUPS:

So how do you make a baked egg? Baking eggs in the oven is one of the easiest and most hands-off methods.

1. You’re going to start making these baked egg cups by lightly greasing or lining a 12 cup muffin tin with silicone liners.
2. Place ham, proscuitto, salami, turkey or thinly shaved veggie slices in muffin cups.
3. Crack an egg into each muffin cup and season with salt and black pepper.
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.

HOW LONG DO EGGS TAKE IN THE OVEN?

These baked eggs cook up in about 12-15 at 375 F in the oven.

Are baked eggs healthy?

Eggs are naturally low in carbs and full of protein and fit perfectly into many healthy lifestyles.

WHAT IF I PREFER OMELETTES OR OVER-EASY FOR THESE BAKED EGG CUPS?

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.

in advance and pour into the muffin tins to make mini omelets.

HOW CAN I MAKE BAKED EGG CUPS AHEAD OF TIME?

These egg cups work great as a make ahead breakfast option if you scramble the eggs into omelets. However, for the over-easy baked egg cups, it’s best to serve them on the same day.
