Egg cups are a convenient and nutritious dish made by baking whisked eggs and assorted ingredients in muffin tins to create individual portions. They often include vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, and onions, as well as proteins such as cheese, bacon, sausage, or beans, making them highly versatile. Originating as a quick breakfast or snack idea in Western cuisine, they are cherished for their customizable nature and simplicity. Egg cups are an excellent source of protein, vitamins from veggies, and healthy fats when balanced with wholesome ingredients. However, their healthiness depends on portion size and added components; excessive cheese or cured meats can increase sodium and saturated fat content. Low-carb and gluten-free, egg cups are perfect for meal prepping and suit various dietary preferences. With the right combination of ingredients, they can be both a delicious and nutrient-packed option to start the day.
