Baked Egg Cups with Veggies and Cheese

We’ve always been a big fan of eggs. After all, they’re healthy, high in protein and so very versatile. And in this time of back-to-back-to-back meal preparations, we’ve never been so grateful for the humble egg’s winning combo of “easy to cook” and “high nutritional pay out”. If you’re looking for something a little different from the usual scramble or omelet, give these kid-friendly baked egg cups a whirl. Simple to make, they feature the added bonus of vegetables and can be eaten without utensils for those of us still getting the hang of that.
