Servings egg cups
Equipment
Ingredients
- 8 eggs
- ¾ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup cottage cheese
- 5 ounces frozen spinach defrosted, water squeezed out and roughly chopped
- ⅓ cup roasted red peppers diced (jarred, or make your own)
- 1 ounce finely diced ham Canadian bacon, or crumbled bacon (about 1/4-1/3 cup)
- ¼ cup sliced green onions
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon hot sauce
- 12 slices ham or 12 foil muffin liners
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉.
- In a bowl, combine all ingredients (except ham slices) and stir well.
- If using ham slices, spray muffin tin with non cook spray and place one piece of ham in each well to form a bowl.
- If using foil muffin liners, spray the insides of the liners with non-stick spray.
- Evenly divide egg mixture between the 12 muffin wells (about ¼ cup each), being careful to keep ingredients well dispersed. You want them to fill right up to the top.
- Place in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. The tops should be puffed and just barely set on top. Eggs will sink after cooling.
- Eat them alone, or for a well-rounded breakfast crumble on top of a piece of whole grain toast along with a glass of milk and a piece of fruit.
