You won’t be able to stop making these! Easy, nutritious, and great to make ahead of time! As soon as my mother-in-law pulled these out of the fridge (already prepped) and I knew they would become a staple in our busy morning routine! I eat these with one hand while I hold my baby!
These are a great base-get creative! We add spinach and cheese before we crack the egg too! We sometimes top with salsa, sour cream, and guacamole! The whole family can easily customize!
Family connection: This recipe is so easy that kids can make it! My 3 year old daughter makes it almost by herself each week! This makes her want to eat them because she takes ownership. Can also be a great math lesson with determining the ratio of egg to Canadian bacon and practicing multiplication and division.
For younger kids: practice counting the eggs and Canadian bacon as they put them into the cups. My daughter loves that she can make a basket out of food! Talk about the property difference of the egg before and after it is cooked (science).
Completed Canadian Bacon Egg Cups-bonus points for turning it into a hidden mickey design to add some fun!
Love picking these up and eating them. Hope they help you keep your meal prep nutritious, fun, and easy!
