One of my favorite things to meal prep are egg cups! They are super high in protein, low in carbs and can be customized so many different ways. The best part about them is they can easily be stored in the fridge and enjoyed for breakfast, lunch and even dinner!
My two go-to egg cup recipes are a “Spinach, Turkey, Sundried Tomato Egg Cup” and then a “Avocado, Peppers and Spicy Seasoning” making it like a Tex-Mex Egg Cup.
I love making egg cups because there is really no wrong way to do it! I like to chop up ingredients that I already have in my refrigerator to make different flavor combinations.
I always like to start with 3 whole eggs and 1 small 8 oz. carton of egg whites. This will usually make 12 eggs cups in a muffin tin.
Pro tip: get yourself a silicone muffin tin! They are amazing and the egg cups slide right out of them! No matter how much non-stick spray I would put on my metal muffin tins, I always felt like I lost half of the egg cup when trying to remove them.
