Baked Egg Cups

I’ll admit, I had reservations about posting a recipe for baked egg cups since there are 1.5 million baked egg cup recipes on Pinterest. THEN I said to myself, “hey, there are no Inspector Gorgeous-flavored egg cups on Pinterest!”. So long story short, I made baked egg cups!

Plus eggs are always a good idea.  

Egg Cup Fillings & Toppings

This was maybe one of the hardest choices I’ve made in a while. Do I go with my signature flavor combo of Pesto and Feta? Do I go rogue and amp up the fall flavors? Do I just order Jimmy Johns because the pressure is too much???

Decisions.

So basically you could do anything, but these egg cups are loaded down with a sizable portion of roasted fall veggies (broccoli, butternut squash, mushrooms, shallots) and TONS of super sharp cheddar. Oh, and about a metric ton of my FAVORITE flaky salt. It’s actually the only salt I use now because it’s so freakin flaky and amazing.

The Picky Eater Bonus

I’ve also realized the hidden bonus in making your scrambled eggs in cup form: it’s perfect for picky eaters and guests *cough* my niece, who you may be serving holiday brunch to. (#kids)

Basically, the picky eater can choose their fillings and you don’t need to make two separate full-size quiches. Compromise is a beautiful, lifesaving thing.

By the way, I’m still craving that Mediterranean vibe so a full-sized Greek-inspired quiche is coming soon.

First of all, check out the sweet retro egg beater my sister got me!
It’s super cool and very inefficient.

My niece’s decision to do this recipe was based solely on her
getting to use the beater and who says bribes don’t work?

While we were getting supplies, we both got overly attached to these cute tomatoes and decided they must be in our egg cups.

STEMS AND ALL.

FUN FACT:
Though she LOVED those cute tomatoes, she refused to eat them cooked.

I’m learning so much about what foods are disgusting. 

Basically, it’s everything except cheese and cool whip.

OHHHH! Here’s the Falk Salt I was talking about before.

She also liked that too (shocker) and proceeded to sprinkle it on the
egg cups for what felt like an hour.

I can’t lie, I salt just as hard.
Must be genetic. 

For the record, all of the bites taken were by me.
After an hour of cooking, she was ready for gummy bears instead.
