Sunday is my day to prepare for the week with errands, grocery and dry cleaning runs and, most importantly, cooking items that will keep well and save time down the road.
I’m a person that needs to eat an actual breakfast in the morning to survive and maintain a friendly/chipper demeanor. Thus, my love for eggs (controversial or not) and all breakfast foods! (As time progresses and I continue writing, you’ll see that a favorite treat is having breakfast for dinner!)
Perk up workday mornings with these fabulous quiche/frittata cups- they are made in individual servings so you can just pop two in the microwave for a minute and 45 seconds and have a yummy instant breakfast. They’re a life saver especially for those of you that love the snooze button as much as I do! Like an omelet, these can be made with your favorite additions. Here’s mine:
Need:
8 large eggs
splash of milk
6 asparagus spears
1 package of protein (I use turkey bacon or chicken sausage)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Oven preheated to 375 degrees
Hollyized Steps:
Cook your protein in a pan- this is my turkey bacon. I like the organic kind that comes with some fat as added flavor but you can substitute for something liter if you are watching your weight.
Chop your fillings into chunky pieces so you’ll be able to taste the different flavors.
Add eggs and milk into a large mixing bowl.
Spray cupcake pan with EVOO to prevent any sticking.
Add all ingredients into the whisked eggs and use 1/4 measuring cup to distribute the frittata mixture into the cupcake cups. The measuring cup minimizes the mess.
Bake for 20 minutes or until the egg is completely cooked. 
Then place into large Tupperware and put in the fridge or freezer. Here’s a finished sample- you can see I cooked this about 3 minutes too long (I’m learning) but it still looks delish!
Get egg-cited about breakfast again!
egg-cellent start

YUM! this is a great idea. How long do they keep fresh?
Like you I need food and esp protein in the AM. My go-to breakfast is usually an organic yogurt cup and a baggie of granola to go, which works fine since I can eat it in morning lecture. But I needed some new ideas for something I could eat on the run when I start wards in a few months. Thanks for the great tip!
Those look delicious! I'm curious – Do you know the calories in each serving? Can't wait to try it out, thanks for the inspiration 🙂
YAY!!!! Thanks for your feedback and I'm SO glad you both like these!
KT Squared, they can keep fresh for up to three days in the fridge and freeze well. I will freeze my portions for Thurs-Sat/Sun and put them in the fridge to defrost the day before. You can even break up a cup and put it in a tortilla to mix it up a bit.
Cal, no, I don't know calories for this but it will depend on what you put in them. For super low calorie version you could use egg beaters instead of eggs, add a lean turkey bacon or veggie sausage and skip the cheese.
I am so impressed my sweet friend!! Can't wait to come over for cooking lessons!
