When I was little, my father was betting me that I’ll get bored of eggs, and I was telling him: no way daaad, you’ll see! Needless to say I WON!
I l-o-v-e eggs. I could eat them every day. I like them for breakfast, I like them for lunch, I like them for dinner. Scrambled, fried, boiled, doesn’t matter. Except from raw. I don’t like them raw. A girl needs her limits.
I also liked them prepared this way 😀 :
How could I not???
These egg cups have only a few ingredients, but they combine like a charm! And they make a lovely breakfast or brunch treat. Plus, they’re so simple to make! Believe me!
Preheat the oven to 200ºC (390ºF). If you’re using frozen spinach (as I did), thaw and drain it. Chop the cherry tomatoes, Frankfurt sausages, and feta cheese.
Put the eggs and egg whites in a bowl and season with salt, pepper, and a teaspoon of dry herb mix (the mix I used contained oregano, thyme and rosemary). Beat them.
Add the tomatoes, sausages, feta cheese, and spinach in the eggs. Mix well to distribute the spinach.
Fill your muffin tins with the egg mixture, but only ¾ full because they will rise in the oven!
Sprinkle some grated cheese of your choice on top of each cup. I used a Greek, super delicious cheese called Kefalotyri. Oooohh, the advantages of visiting our country :D.
Cook for 35min at 200ºC (390ºF), or until the top is brownish and the cups are not shaking when moved.
Last, but most important step: Enjoy!!
Have a nice day!
