Here’s how to make fluffy egg cups—light, tender, and perfect for meal prep or quick breakfasts 🥚✨
Fluffy Egg Cups
Ingredients (12 cups)
- 8 large eggs
- ¼ cup milk or heavy cream (key for fluffiness)
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Optional Mix-ins (choose 1–3)
- Shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, feta)
- Cooked bacon, sausage, or ham
- Bell peppers, spinach, onions, mushrooms
- Fresh herbs
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a muffin tin well or use silicone liners. - Whisk eggs vigorously with milk, salt, and pepper until pale and slightly frothy.
- Fill cups
Add mix-ins first, then pour egg mixture about ¾ full. - Bake
Bake 18–22 minutes, until just set in the center. - Rest
Let cool 5 minutes—this helps them stay fluffy and release easily.
Secrets to Extra Fluffy Egg Cups
- Whisk hard (or blend 15 seconds)
- Don’t overbake—pull them when centers barely jiggle
- Use room-temperature eggs
- Silicone molds work best for lift & texture
Storage & Reheat
- Refrigerate up to 4 days
- Freeze up to 2 months
- Reheat in microwave 20–30 seconds (cover with damp paper towel)
