An egg cup is a simple and versatile breakfast dish, typically consisting of an egg baked in a muffin tin alongside additional ingredients for flavor, such as vegetables, cheese, or meat. These bite-sized portions are thought to have originated from Western cuisines as a convenient way to prepare eggs in a portable form. Egg cups are packed with protein due to the eggs, making them a filling option to start the day. Depending on the add-ins, they can also provide vitamins, minerals, and fiber from vegetables or healthy fats from items like avocado or cheese. However, they may be higher in sodium and saturated fat if processed meats or excessive cheese are used. By choosing lean proteins and nutrient-rich vegetables, egg cups can be a balanced and nutritious option for any meal. They're also gluten-free and customizable to various dietary preferences or restrictions.
