Easy Breakfast Egg Cups

Mornings in our house are a bit like a three-ring circus, especially with two little ones. Between getting everyone dressed, packing lunches, and negotiating over whether or not socks are “scratchy,” breakfast can sometimes feel like an afterthought.

That’s why I’m obsessed with recipes like these Easy Breakfast Cups. They’re bite-sized, kid-approved, and perfect for busy mornings. I can whip up a batch on Sunday, keep them in the fridge (or freezer), and just reheat during the week. The best part? They’re packed with protein, veggies, and flavor and the kids think they’re getting a special treat.

This version uses fluffy eggs, creamy cheddar, hearty diced potatoes, savory ham, and a pop of freshness from cherry tomatoes and green onions. You can swap the meat for sausage, bacon, or even make them veggie-only if that’s your vibe. The recipe bakes up beautifully in a muffin tin, making them just the right size for little hands (and big ones too).

Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 1 heaping cup frozen diced potatoes
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup cut-up deli ham slices
• Handful of cherry tomatoes, diced
• 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• Handful of thin-sliced green onion

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a mini muffin tin generously with cooking spray or lightly brush with oil.
2. Combine the ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the eggs, cream, potatoes, protein, veggies and seasoning.
3. Whisk the together: Whisk everything together in the bowl.
4. Assemble by dividing the mixture evenly into the muffin cups.
5. Top with cheese and pour the egg mixture over each cup until just full.
6. Bake for 12–15 minutes (mini muffins) or 18–22 minutes (regular muffin size), until the eggs are set.
7. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from the tin. Store in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
