These savory egg and avocado breakfast cups are a quick, tasty, and nutritious way to start your morning. They combine creamy avocado with baked eggs and simple seasonings for a perfect grab-and-go breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 2 medium ripe avocados (soft but not mushy, sliced or diced)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or pepper jack, or dairy-free alternative)
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • Salt to taste (preferably kosher salt)
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Olive oil spray or butter (for greasing muffin tin)
  • Optional fresh herbs (chopped cilantro or parsley for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease the muffin tin cups thoroughly with olive oil spray or butter to avoid sticking.
  2. Slice the avocados in half, remove the pits, then carefully scoop out the flesh. Cut into small chunks or slices that will fit nicely into the muffin cups.
  3. Halve the cherry tomatoes and slice the green onions. Grate the cheese if not pre-shredded.
  4. Crack 6 large eggs into a mixing bowl. Add salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika, then whisk briskly until well combined and slightly frothy, about 1-2 minutes.
  5. Place a few avocado pieces into each muffin cup. Add a couple of cherry tomato halves and a sprinkle of green onions.
  6. Carefully pour the egg mixture over the avocado and tomatoes in each cup until about 3/4 full.
  7. Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly on top of each cup.
  8. Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 15-18 minutes. Check around 15 minutes; the eggs should be set but still tender. A toothpick inserted should come out clean but the egg should not be overcooked.
  9. Remove from oven and let the cups cool for 5 minutes before gently running a knife around each to loosen.
  10. Top with fresh herbs if desired and serve warm.

Notes

Grease the muffin tin well to prevent sticking. Whisk eggs until slightly frothy for lighter texture. Adjust baking time for preferred egg doneness. You can prepare ingredients the night before for quick assembly. Variations include adding cooked bacon, sausage, or different veggies. Use silicone muffin liners for easier removal. Freeze leftovers individually wrapped for longer storage.
