Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- ½ lb ground beef
- 6 large eggs
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup diced onion (optional)
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 375 °F (190 °C) and grease a 6-cup muffin tin to prevent sticking.
- Cook Beef and Onion: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef and diced onion together. Once cooked, drain excess fat and season the mixture with garlic powder, salt, and pepper according to taste.
- Whisk Eggs: In a bowl, thoroughly whisk the six large eggs until well blended.
- Assemble Cups: Evenly divide the cooked beef mixture among the muffin cups. Pour the whisked eggs over the beef in each cup and then top each with shredded cheddar cheese.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 22 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the breakfast cups to cool slightly in the muffin tin before removing and serving, ensuring they hold their shape.
Notes
- Store the breakfast cups in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze them for up to 1 month for convenient meal prep.
- Substitute ground turkey or sausage for the beef to add variety and different flavor profiles.
- Ensure proper greasing of muffin tins to prevent sticking and ease removal.
- Customize with additional spices or vegetables according to your preference.
