Egg Cupcakes: A Nutritious Breakfast Option
Egg cupcakes are a delightful breakfast choice that can appeal to both children and adults alike. This recipe ensures that even the pickiest eaters will enjoy their meal for several reasons: the taste of eggs, the ability to personalize their ingredients, and the enticing name—who wouldn’t want to eat something called a cupcake?
Ingredients:
- Eggs
- Spinach
- Cheese
- Turkey Sausage
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Prepare your cupcake tin by spraying it with cooking spray, such as olive oil, canola, or vegetable oil.
- Crack an egg into a bowl and scramble it with a fork. While it might seem tedious to mix one egg at a time, doing so helps control the amount that goes into each cupcake compartment, making the process easier.
- Pour one scrambled egg into each cupcake mold—one egg equals one cupcake.
- Next, incorporate your desired add-ins. For this example, we suggest adding a small amount of chopped spinach, turkey sausage, and American cheese. You can mix these ingredients into the egg before pouring it into the tin or add them directly into the egg mixture once it’s in the tin. If mixing in the tin, use the fork to gently combine.
- Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes, or until the edges start to brown, indicating that they are fully cooked.
These egg cupcakes freeze exceptionally well. After cooking, allow them to cool and then wrap each one individually in plastic wrap. Store all wrapped cupcakes in a large gallon-sized Ziploc bag. For defrosting, it’s best to place them in the refrigerator overnight. If time is short, you can also defrost them in the microwave on a low setting.
This recipe is particularly beneficial for busy mornings. For instance, on one occasion, I heated the cupcakes, cut them into bite-sized pieces, and placed them in a red Solo cup with a fork, allowing the kids to enjoy a warm, nutritious breakfast during our commute.
