I've been saying for a few weeks now that I was going to publish my breakfast super food recipe. Today is the day to stop the procrastination! This is the food that gets me started, keeps me going, and makes it easy to get on with my day since I don't have to even THINK about what to have for breakfast. It's also a make ahead meal, so it's there and ready when I wake up. A lot of you may have seen the recipes all over Pinterest for breakfast egg cups, or veggie and egg cups, or whatever they are called for each recipe. This is the same thing, but with a special, yummy twist.
Most egg cup recipes are baked in muffin tins, and using muffin liners. I tried this the first time and everything stuck to the liners, and I was frustrated. Instead, I found inspiration elsewhere on Pinterest, and saw a recipe that used lunch meat to line the muffin cups. Genius! I like ham with my breakfast food, but you can use whatever you like. I have two of these every morning, sometimes with some hot sauce. Again, easy, yummy, keeps me full. Win win.
Ham, Egg, and Cheese Breakfast Cups
3 cups liquid egg whites
24 slices ham (I used Oscar Meyer Deli Creations Honey Ham)
6 slices fat free American cheese
Preheat oven to 350F. Spray a 12 cup muffin tin with nonstick spray. Line each cup with 1-2 pieces of ham, depending on what kind/brand you are using. Pour in each cup 1/4 cup egg whites. Place half a piece of cheese in each cup. Bake for anywhere from 15-25 mins, or when the centers are only very SLIGHTLY jiggly. These will be puffy and beautiful when they come out of the oven, but will shrink and look more like the photo above when cooled. Serves 6, 1 serving=2 breakfast cups.

I promise that you will like these. They can be made with real eggs (with yolks) and full fat cheese and I imagine would be nothing short of a delicacy. You can also add veggies to give these more body, but I prefer mine sans veggies. These are perfect for a brunch, or other meal where you have to serve a lot of people. And who doesn't love little single serving sized foods? Honestly, it's just the easiest thing to pop in the microwave in the morning and eat on the go. I'll sometimes throw mine in a baggie and eat it on the road. They can be a little juicy, so watch out.
Eat up and be happy!
