Caprese Egg Cups

Like a frittata, but baked in a muffin pan, these Caprese Egg Cups are perfect to make ahead for breakfast with spinach, tomatoes, basil, and cheese.

I love sunny-side up eggs, but who can eat them every single day of the week? Definitely not me! I love variety. Of course, eggs are an affordable source of protein, but we don’t have to just make the same thing over and over.

There are so many breakfast dishes that we can make with eggs. These Caprese Breakfast Egg Cups are one of them. It doesn’t need to be anything fancy or complicated — only tasty, for sure! And these egg cups deliver both color and flavor with every bite.

The good thing is that, in less than 30 minutes you can have this baked frittata without much ado and still take it with you to work, school, or anywhere. It’s economical and loaded with protein and vitamins.

In addition, these are gluten-free, keto, and vegetarian… as well as Paleo and Whole30 if you skip the cheese.

In fact, all that you need to do is to beat the eggs real quick, season them well, and then pour into a greased muffin tin with spinach, tomatoes, basil, and cheese. Finally, bake at 350 F for about 15-19 minutes. Right before serving, drizzle with balsamic vinegar, if desired, and enjoy.

Really simple, right?

Serve hot with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar, if desired. Enjoy!
