Need low carb breakfast ideas? I’ve got three breakfast eggs cups for a quick and easy breakfast on the go.

I made taco, pizza, and spinach and bacon egg cups or mini quiches in one pan since I couldn’t decide which one of the three to make.

Are Egg Cups Healthy?

Made with eggs, milk, cheese, and your choice of add-ins, egg cups are a good source of protein and healthy fats which will keep everyone full, longer.

I usually bake a batch over the weekend, pack them into lunch containers for the kids and I to enjoy through the week. Since you can mix up the flavors, we never get tired of having egg cups.

What Else Can You Call Egg Cups

Whether you call them mini quiches, mini frittatas, mini egg muffins, or egg cups, all of these apply to these cheesy, bites of goodness.

All that really matters is that you make enough to enjoy today and keep on hand for the next week because trust me, these will go fast especially if the kids know you’ve made them.

Low Carb Breakfast Ideas – Egg Cups

Coming up with low carb breakfast ideas is a challenge! All of our favorite breakfast recipes tend to have a lot of carbs, like, pancakes, muffins, or oats! Don’t get me wrong, those are all healthy options when made right, but sometimes you’ll need a low carb option like these mini egg cups.

They’re one of the most popular recipes in our Family Kickstart, a meal plan that helps families cut out processed foods, sugar, and focus on fresh, real meals. To give you an idea here is a sample of our #1 real food meal guide!

What to put in Egg Cups

The basic recipe for mini quiches is so versatile so you can add any of your family’s favorite ingredients like chopped veggies, lunch meat, cheese, etc.

I like to think of it as a mini frittata bar and add in leftovers from lunches, dinner, or the odds and ends in my veggie drawer.

Best Egg Cup Recipes

Personally, I find the best egg cup recipes are the ones that include leftovers, it’s a creative way to reduce waste and the one time my kids don’t mind eating leftovers.

The MOMables favorites:

• Taco night leftovers = Taco Egg Cups
• Pizza toppings = Pizza Egg Cups
• Leftover salad ingredients = Spinach & Bacon Egg Cups

How to Freeze Egg Cups

These Egg Cups make mornings so much easier because they can be made ahead and stored in the fridge or freezer. That means kids can prep their own breakfast when the wake up in the morning, simply by walking over to the freezer. Amazing.

All you have to do is allow the egg cups to cool down completely before placing in a zip bag and freezing for up to 2 months. Reheat in the microwave for 30 seconds, if frozen, or 1 minute if defrosted.

Easy enough!
