I love making these simple egg muffin cups for a easy protein packed breakfast. Make a a 1/2 dozen of these for the week and put 2 in ziplocks for a quick grab and go breakfast or snack. Add a little Frank’s Red Hot and BOOM I’m good to go! Substitute your favorite veggies for your favorite flavor combos.
