Step 5

Next, add some shredded spinach and press it all down into the cup. Add the egg mixture to the cups, careful not to overfill them. The eggs will puff up a little bit, so leave some room.

Step 6

Bake the cups for about 25 minutes. Once you start smelling them, check them often. You'll know they're done when you shake the muffin tin and they don't jiggle. Let cool for a few minutes and enjoy.

Breakfast baked eggs are my favorite thing to have in the morning before I run out the door. I make mine the night before and microwave them for a quick and yummy breakfast. I like to pair mine with a smoothie, like one of these, or with a simple glass of orange juice. Here are some other great breakfast baked egg options too: this one is a baked egg in an avocado, this one is a sausage, egg, and cheese baked sweet potato, and here you can find a ton more options. Next time you're in a rush or looking for a new way to spice up your breakfast, have a baked egg!
