If you saw my smoothie post a few weeks ago, you know that I have been on a bit of a diet lately. Part of this diet is eating a bigger breakfast so that I can wait until later to eat a light lunch and later to eat a normal dinner. Well, those smoothies are fantastic, but I’m a little smoothie’d out. My first couple weeks of my diet was all fruits and veggies, the healthiest of the healthiest, but I needed something savory! So I present to you Grab-and-Go Greek Egg Cups:
As usual, there’s no real recipe to this because it’s so customizable given your diet, taste, and availability of ingredients. I made these Greek style, but definitely want to try them with more of a southwestern flair in the future.
Easy as can be: I heated the oven to 350 degree. Then, in a large mixing bowl, I whisked a dozen eggs, salt and pepper. From there, just do what you want! Here’s what I mixed in:
Greek ingredients:
fresh spinach
sliced sundried tomatoes
caramelized onions
chopped artichoke hearts
sliced kalamata olives
crumbled feta cheese
crushed red pepper flakes
If you want to try them southwestern style, here’s what I would put in:
Southwestern Ingredients:
diced tomatoes
onions
bell peppers
shredded cheddar cheese
jalapenos (pickled or fresh)
fresh cilantro
chili powder
Once all the ingredients are mixed together, carefully pour into a greased muffin tin.
Then, just bake for 25 minutes, or until it no longer jiggles when you shake the pan. Let cool 10-15 minutes before carefully removing.
If you want to make these ahead for the week like i did, I wrapped them each individually in plastic wrap and then put them in freezer bags in the refrigerator. They kept for about a week and good be easily heated up with about 20 seconds in the microwave.
Enjoy!
