HOW TO MAKE HAM & CHEESE BAKED EGG CUPS:

- Crack an egg into each muffin cup and season with salt and black pepper.
- Sprinkle cheese, chopped parsley and dried herbs of your choice.
- 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 HAM EGG CUPS AHEAD OF TIME?
Can you freeze cooked eggs?
Scrambled eggs are definitely a great freezer-friendly breakfast option. However, since these Whole30 bacon eggs cups are made with over-easy eggs, it’s best to serve them on the same day.
