- Whisk Eggs: In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and onion. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
*Note: Make sure to grease your muffin tin properly and use a good-quality non-stick muffin tray. If you’re unsure, use parchment paper or cupcake liners to prevent sticking.
- Fill Muffin Tins: Add the egg mixture halfway up into each tin of the greased muffin tin.
- Add Toppings: Divide the three topping combinations into four muffin cups each.
*Note: The muffins will puff up as they bake, so be sure to fill the tins only three-quarters full to prevent overflow.

I used sautéed mushrooms in some of mine, and they were quite watery. Should I use raw mushrooms instead of sautéing them first? The bacon and cheese ones turned out perfectly and were everyone’s favorite!
Must get a silicone muffin tin. They just fall out. Delicious.Gayle
Lovely recipe, and such a time saver! I just wanted to Post a quick tip. I go to the salad bar at my local market and select a spoonful of this and a spoonful of that, making it cheap and easy to utilize a variety of veggies, cheeses, etc in these egg cups. The best part is, they are already clean and prepared!
Wonderful idea! Thank you.
Great idea!
What a fantastic idea! Thanks!

Excellent in every way…easy and quick to make, versatile, the perfect finger food for breakfast. I made mine with cherry tomatoes, spinach, sweet red peppers, red onions and Tajin seasoning. Came out perfect the first time!
My new favorite way to have eggs!! Peppers, cheese, sausage, tomato and avocado. Fantastic. I used 4 eggs and a splash of milk. And filled 4 of my 6 large muffin tin. At 17 minutes it seemed perfect, thank you!
Made these tonight using my Pampered Chef brownie pan. Turned out great!
Used deli ham, Parmesan and cheddar cheese, onions, garlic, diced jalapeños and several different Trader Joe’s spice blends.
Quick, easy and fun to eat! 😊
I rarely ever leave comments but I just had to for this one because these turned out INCREDIBLE! The prep is easy but it does take quite a bit of time, overall definitely worth it though because you get delicious breakfast for days in one go!!! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!
Thanks for the recipe. My first batch is just out of the oven. They are delicious! I made my own topping with swiss cheese, brocoli rice and small ham cubes. So good!
Looking forward to finding my next favorite recipe on your site! 😀
I made these with mushroom, spinach, really fine onion, bacon, tomato, and cheddar jack cheese. That was the first batch. The second batch I made tomato, cheddar, and jalapeno. Of course I had a few spices in there too.They were delish!!!
Added ham, green peppers, and onions to mine. Turned out good. Any tips on getting them out of the pan better? I sprayed a ton of baking spray on my pans, but it still stuck to the bottom, other than that I love this recipe.
