I love these egg cups. 

They are quick to throw together (literally a couple of minutes), can feed loads of people and are a great way to get rid of leftovers. 

With Dan off from work and his tendency to graze, I figured it was best to just prepare a couple of snacks and with the rest of you probably in a similar situation – especially if you have kids or lots of people over, this is great to prepare ahead and can be stored for about 5 days in the fridge or frozen for a month ( Dan thinks they taste fine, I personally feel it changes the taste a little – so I don’t recommend it).

The very first time I made these was after watching a video in 2017, I was alone at home that evening as everyone else was working nights or the late shift and I needed something to do, to make sure I did not just fall asleep cause that would have ruined my night shift the following day. I figured it would be perfect for work the next day and last me a couple of days, however my hungry housemates back from their late/night shifts thought they were the perfect snack! 

While the original recipe called for bacon, eggs and mozzarella lined on top of some bread – which to be fair is yummy! Over time, I have tried other combinations (some I will never repeat again!) and have come up with some go to’s – they usually involve leftovers. 

Here is a video with a few of my favourites. For more of my favourite combos, visit my blog!

Enjoy!

All combinations are for one full tray of 12
Preheat oven to 180C, and cook for 15 – 20 minutes!
To reheat just pop in the microwave (on a microwave safe plate of course!) for about 30 seconds on high.

10 – 12 eggs (if large 10)
Pepper and salt to taste

If you like to make your omelette a particular way just use that as a base!
