While I don't really remember, that first experience must have been a success because I have since widened my breakfast horizons to include eggs of all types. On this blog you'll find stratas, quiche, and even eggs baked into potatoes! And now I can also add these scrambled egg cups to the list. I discovered this perfect little recipe when my friend Paige baked up a batch for a group of us who helped her and her boyfriend move a few weeks ago. I loved how cute they were and was eager to try them at home.
These would be perfect for a party, as they could be made ahead of time and reheated. Additionally, they're easy to throw together and can be modified to suit your desires. I just threw a bunch of stuff I found in my fridge in the bowl for this batch, but I will definitely be making tons of variations to this basic recipe. I envision a Southwest style with black beans and topped with avocado, or maybe a Greek version with feta, olives, and roasted red peppers. Stay tuned for those recipes sometime :) Help me out, what other versions should we try?
P.S. Be sure to spray the muffin cups A LOT with cooking spray, unless you want to fight with your husband about who has to scrape all the caked-on egg pieces off of the muffin tin. Not that I would know anything about that...
