Egg cupcakes have become a beloved breakfast staple in our household. Our children are enthusiastic about them for three primary reasons: 1. They enjoy the taste of eggs. 2. They can select their favorite add-ins and assist in the preparation. 3. I refer to them as cupcakes, and anything labeled as such is a guaranteed hit.
Ingredients:
- Eggs
- Spinach
- Cheese
- Turkey Sausage
Instructions:
- Begin by spraying your cupcake tins with a cooking spray of your choice; olive oil works well, but canola or vegetable sprays are also effective.
- Crack an egg into a bowl and scramble it using a fork. I find it more manageable to mix one egg at a time, despite my partner’s preference for mixing them all at once. This method ensures accurate portioning for each cupcake tin.
- Pour one scrambled egg into each compartment of the cupcake tin—each egg corresponds to one cupcake.
- Next, incorporate your desired ingredients. For example, we often use chopped spinach, turkey sausage, and American cheese. You can either add these ingredients to the tin before pouring in the egg or mix them into the egg once it’s already in the tin. If you choose to mix them in, gently stir with the fork.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F for approximately 20 minutes. You’ll know they’re ready when the edges start to turn golden brown.
These egg cupcakes freeze exceptionally well. After cooking, allow them to cool, then wrap each one individually in plastic wrap, placing them collectively in a large gallon-sized Ziploc bag. For defrosting, placing them in the refrigerator overnight is ideal, though you can also use the microwave for a quicker solution.
I appreciate this recipe because it allows for batch preparation, ensuring I always have a quick breakfast option for the kids. One hectic morning, I heated the egg cupcakes, diced them into smaller pieces, and served them in a red Solo cup with a fork. This way, my daughters could enjoy a warm breakfast on the go, even when time was short.
Feel free to explore an array of add-ins; the possibilities are endless! Here are some of our favorites:
- Peppers
- Onions
- Bacon
- Cheese
- Spinach
- Broccoli
- Zucchini
- Sausage
- Mushrooms
- Pepperoni
- Ham
- Turkey
- Potatoes
- Chicken
