Make-Ahead Broccoli Cheddar Egg Cups

Easy Make-Ahead Broccoli Cheddar Egg Cups are full of veggies and protein for a healthy breakfast on busy mornings! (gluten-free, vegetarian)

Great news! I have FINALLY graduated with my master’s degree in clinical nutrition from UT Southwestern! (Yes, the dramatic all-caps was necessary.) That means no more school for me and I am this close to becoming a registered dietitian! All I have to do is pass my registration exam. Although I am done with school, somebody else I know (yep, Mr. Table!) is going back to school here in a couple of weeks just like many of you and your kiddos.

As we transition into fall and back-to-school season, it’s back to rushed mornings and busy days, which means sometimes breakfast is the first thing to be bumped off of the ‘important things to do’ list. But on busy days, it is even more important to get a nutritious start to keep you going. Which is why I made you a delicious, healthy, make-ahead breakfast that you can grab on your way out the door to keep you full through to lunch.

Eggs are an absolute must on most days for me. They are an easy source of protein and go wonderfully alongside veggies (yay!). Of course, I know most people don’t have time to make a full breakfast every day, so I wanted to make sure these Make-Ahead Broccoli Cheddar Egg Cups were easy to prepare ahead so you can still eat a nutritious breakfast. I love that they pack in protein and veggies in an easy-to-grab cup. Just add some fruit or a cup of yogurt to go alongside them, and you’ll be good to go for hours.

How adorable are these Casabella Silicone Muffin Cups? I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gone to make muffins or cupcakes and open the pantry to find no muffin liners! Then I proceed to make my muffins and they stick to the sides of my muffin tin and I am so sad. But these re-usable muffin cups make sure I always have liners to keep my muffins (or eggs) away from the side of the muffin tin and in my mouth instead! They are also dishwasher safe, which is always a plus when you’re rushing around all day. I am so glad I finally got my hands on these silicone muffin cups. (Thanks, Casabella!)

I love the classic combination of broccoli and cheddar in these delicious Make-Ahead Broccoli Cheddar Egg Cups, but feel free to use any veggies or cheese you have on hand. You could also add some cooked chopped ham or sausage crumbles if you’d like. Customize them to your liking for the perfect make-ahead, grab-and-go breakfast on the run and enjoy not being starving all morning!

I was provided a sample of Silicone Muffin Cups from Casabella in exchange for my honest review. I was not compensated for my time. All opinions are my own.
