Baked in a muffin tin and ready to grab on your way out the door, these little egg cups pack fluffy eggs, creamy cottage cheese, and diced ham into single portions studded with sweet peppers and melted cheddar. They reheat beautifully, so a Sunday batch carries you through a whole week of hurried mornings. Anyone who wants real protein at breakfast without standing over a stove will keep coming back to these.
